Advent Calendar #2 : Tree

Advent Calendar #2 : Tree

Building a tree,

Dozens of tinsels and baubles covering it,

Some angles to watch you during the cold nights,

And a star to make wishes to.

Garlands illuminated in the dark of the night,

Sparkling and giving children hope all around the world,

Baubles giving colours to the white of the winter,

Angels recieving prayers and wishes.

Children staying late at night under the tree,

Wondering if they behaved well enough

For Father Christmas to give them the gifts they would like.

And parents looking at them with nostalgia.

Maybe the star, in a moment of compassion,

Will answer the adults' wish for a little bit of innocence,

One last time. But they'll realise, by looking at their children's eyes,

They don't have to go further to see miracles.
