White lights that sparkle and glow Illuminate the Christmas tree I warmly know
Shiny red ribbon wraps around
A quilted tree skirt covers the ground
No matching ornaments are in sight
Many ornaments hanging at the same height
Some branches are bare
While others have many ornaments to wear
Each ornament tells a story
Each one finding its seasonal place of glory
Popsicle sticks, pictures and glue
Yarn and glitter make up a few
Some have been found during our recent travels
Others look like they’re about to unravel
Handprints from our living son
Even our cockapoo has one
Others represent the child we all miss
Our sweet baby girl we all long to kiss
Only 6 hands participate in our tree decorating
Even though 2 more should be waiting
It’s not easy to find joy in the pain
But we know because of her life, our family will never be the same
A manger and a cross represent the gift of all gifts
Because of our Savior, our spirits can lift
A hope for our future in heaven now in sight
All because Jesus was born that Holy night
At the top of our imperfect tree sits a star
Reminding us we can shine no matter how imperfect we are
The branches point toward heaven where someday we’ll be
A whole, complete, and perfect family
