Dressing the Tree

Dressing the Tree

 

Lights strung on every branch,

Sparkling a beautiful dance.

Memories filling spaces

From the heart’s many places.

 

Gathering around are ornaments of gold,

Some brand new, some--memories of old.

A returning awe of times sweetly told,

Dressing the tree, a wonder to behold.

 

Trimming with ribbons and tensile

Until the whole tree is filled.

Love and care adorns

Memories once more.

 

A steady reminder of grace

That lights the way.

A beacon of hope

That will someday bring us Home.

 

The Lord places His Light within us,

Making our souls ever victorious.

Filling empty spaces with God’s peace,

He is dressing you and me.

Amazing description of dressing a tree.
"The Lord places His Light within us,
Making our souls ever victorious.
Filling empty spaces with God’s peace,
He is dressing you and me."
I liked the above lines. Made the reader understand the meaning of the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry dear Melinda.
