CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS


by David Knape

We store these ornaments carefully
so hopefully they will last
and bring back precious memories
of Christmases in the past,
Little trinkets become treasures
on our tree so proudly hung
reminders of our history
when our family was young

Christmas ornaments are tokens
of who we used to be
so many years of happiness
displayed upon our tree,
For in these special ornaments
is the accumulation of our years
and seeing them again returns
those days we hold so dear

When our children were just little
the excitement and the play
all remembered in these ornaments
displayed on Christmas Day,
These special family ornaments
to our hearts a softness brings
they represent our family
what Christmas really means.
