The Discarded Tree

A bare Christmas tree stands all alone Decorations and presents all are gone That joyous time a thing of the past The gift of Jesus will sure to last Was a beautiful sight for all to see Bought together friends and family Lots of food and bounties of cheers Family tradition down through the years Now lies discarded at the bottom of the heap Tossed into the ocean sinks down to the deep Haven for corals, sea mammals and fishes Floating listlessly no more santas wishes Once stood tall the center of attention So wonderful a thing that all could mention The greatest story has already been told God sent us a Saviour that'll never grow old Copyright 2013
