Drove by a cemetery on my way home yesterday
This tree captured my attention so I stopped to see it up close
It is a memorial of sorts with all manner of happy remembrances, letters and photos

Loved ones pronouncing the past with exuberance
I suspect those in remembrance would be happy with the holiday cheer
Glitter and garland aren’t limited to pine trees indoors

Memory can affect us in a myriad of ways
These folks chose to think of happier times
Makes me wonder what am I making now

Angels of sorts perhaps
Joyful memories despite all of life’s struggles
Jesus making Christmas possible
Merry Christmas to all
