A 'TREE' THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER CHRISTMAS ONE...Wow, its almost Christmas TIME! Its the time when people have their Christmas lights on and the Christmas Tree decorated... Since my Apt. is too small, I thought I put up this "Christmas Tree" that I wrote on the Internet World instead with its accompaning "lights" if you know what I mean... http://www.teamtruth.com/poetry/po_jlxmas.htm#The%20Christmas%20Tree (If there were to be any one special Christmas tree, this would be it…) The world’s Christmas tree is decorated with ornaments, Silver, golden and colored ornaments, Its decoration is worthy of compliments, From pretty ladies and handsome gents. The white silver imitation of snow, The Christmas lights colorful glow. It’s pyramid shape and size, Blend in perfectly to the Holiday eyes. It’s seem warm in its greeting, Below it, presents lay waiting, Boxed up and carefully wrapped, Bows tied so good and ready to snap. * * * Contrary, the Christmas tree from above, Is not like anything described above. It’s not something one would have thought of. To the world, it’s despised and unloved. It has in place of real ornaments, Splinters enough to serve as punishments. The wood is stiff and hard, Not some flaky paper card. Instead of an evergreen color of life, It is dead and painfully deprived, The smell captivates all with the stench of death, Enough to grasp anyone’s breath. It’s symbol of life, Is the blood of a man unable to survive. Rather than having a pyramid shape, This Christmas tree has arms for it shape, Raised up solemnly to judge the One on it, There for a moment, a King is nailed on it. What a Christmas tree that is. For our sins, this Christmas tree shows the price of Jesus. --Jimmy Li http://www.teamtruth.com/poetry/po_jlxmas.htm#The%20Christmas%20Tree Feel free to go ahead and post it on your Xanga entry, forward it in your email, have it as a note on Facebook, or leave it as a comment... |
