A Star Atop My Christmas Tree

This concrete poem expresses how I feel about this Holy season.  My faith in God and His peace, family and you, my friends, are all a blessing in my life and part of the base that holds it all up.   I am grateful for each and every one.

    Thank you, Iris, for your kind, appreciated comment. Chris, I had to set aside expectations as my knee went out on Christmas day. Still, it was lovely.

    Thank you for such a concise poem about the Christmas season. This year I was forced to set aside some of my perfectionistic tendencies when the power went off as I was about to serve dinner. We ate by candle light and enjoyed each other’s presence more than ever.

    Thank you, Aunt Beulah. With all the Holiday pressures, it is good for me to stop and reflect. Do have a joyous holiday and a good New Year, too.

    Such a lovely concrete poem about Christmas, Laurel. I enjoyed the movement from the star on top to the all-important base on the bottom and also the inclusion of the fun of the season: parties, cooking, gifts: all of which contribute to the joy of the season. Thank you for a quiet moment of reflection this afternoon.
