The Christmas Tree

A
star
above
glittering
tinsel bows &
baubles with thin
red cotton threads.
Presents gleam bright,
waiting for the church bells
to chime; for the children to run
and jump with absolute joy and glee.
The family cake is one to celebrate.
Central to festive fun.
Gather
around
the Christmas tree
