Ma’s Tree

Ma’s Tree

 Ma’s Tree

Bulbs, lights and tinsel
Ring memories 
Each bulb a treasure
That went on Ma’s Tree

Unpacked with kid gloves 
Like newborn baby’s
Kids dared not touch
Such fragility’s

Ma left the fun part
For all of us kids
Like licking the spoon
Us kids dug right in

Handfuls of tinsel
Were flung on Ma’s tree
Topped with her angel
High up on it’s peak

Hello Bill...

Great write...

I remember when I accidentally knocked ours down on top of me...

I thought to myself maybe, I should have had the accident before all the decorations went on it...

I remember my Mother saying where are you?

I don't know...

I have a Tree on Top of me...

She was mad at me once she realized I was ok...

Lol!

I offered to help her pick it up...

She said I did enough...

​​​​​​Thank you for sharing...
