Writer's Wednesday -- Crystal J. Kirgiss

The Tree

by Crystal J. Kirgiss

Whether short or tall,

bent or straight,

young or old,

full or bare,

once chosen and decorated

with tender care

each tree becomes lovely,

bathed in lights,

wrapped in color,

clothed in newness...

a symbol of bent, bare empty lives

chosen by the Father,

bathed in Light,

wrapped in Hope,

clothed in Forgiveness,

REBORN,

because long ago

a tiny babe

entered our world

and shattered the darkness.
