An Epworth Christmas (1987)

A tree you chopped

A tree you trimmed

Made Christmas's of past

   extremely dim.



The wood piled high

by the pot belly stove,

was greater than

any treasure trove.



With food abundant &

fit for a King.

The "Mighty Queen"

Reigned over everything.



The French Poetry flowed

as you read.

The imagery, the iambic pentameter

depicted all; danced in my head.



I'll never forget you

nor the gift that you gave...

Your Nature, Your Beauty

in my heart...

  I Will Save.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

As I sit an remember the beauty that surrounds me, And I'll never say goodbye it'll always be Later.
