Tho evergreen, said conifers do pine
For time of year when central to one’s home
Whilst ‘sprucing up’ allows for each to shine
Tradition sheds its light on ancient tome
Twas ‘Tree of Life’ from which we took the form
To bridge the gap ‘twixt Man and Lord above
Then ‘later shape’ became accepted norm
Evoking both ‘The Trinity’ and ‘Love’
Now garlanded with tinsel, (baubles too)
Each candle burning bright midst winter gloom
Tis ‘Yonder Star’ atop tells us, He’s due
Brings sense of hope renewed to every room
Should ‘Stable’ seem to some still closed at night
Inside you can be sure, tis wondrous sight

Merry Christmas to all on FLOW
