Wonder

Wonder…

Silver, red and tinsel gold

Pine and popcorn mix

Tiny lights of colors different

Hanging trinkets of old

Drums and bears and little Santas

Her little hand has to touch

Ceiling high above its top

Tree top empty but never bare

He holds her up

To get her closer

In hopes she will reach what hangs in air

And no one else may know what’s up

Or maybe their too busy to concern themselves with

With the angel

High above them.

What a marvelous gift of faith, magic, and enchantment! this poem takes me back to my daughter's first Christmas, and her very first word: Lights! Harv

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
