The Christmas Tree Story
by louis gander If Jesus told a story about a Christmas tree, would Christmas lights be mentioned in ways that make us see? Would He describe the garland and other fancy things - like mistletoe and sparkles and pretty angel wings? Would He mention ornaments and colorful designs? Would He explain the colors - why present wrappings shine? Or would He paint a picture of something more oblique - of something more descriptive - of something more unique? Would His tree not have needles - but rather be quite grim? Would His tree not have branches - except a couple limbs? Would ornaments be mentioned or dropped from His details? Would He, Himself replace them - along with cruel nails? Would thorns replace the angel - that's perched way up on top? Would love surround that very tree in blood from every drop? Would He describe the lighting that turned so very dark? And would the mountains echo His final last remark? His tree was seen by many folk, remembered their own way - but it was very different, and priceless still today. If Jesus told the story about His Christmas tree - would it have any impact on folks today, like me? 2009 louis gander - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED http://www.ganderpoems.org/ ------- Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
