A Christmas Tree Topper - A Silly Tale of Joy

The evergreen stood in the yard
Forlorn and without joy,
For all the trees in all the homes
Were decked out to enjoy.
 
While it stood there, rooted outside,
Decorated with rain,
And no hope of bright sparkly lights
To ease its Christmas pain.
 
Yet, as the sun began to rise
The raindrops flashed with light
And somehow that tree’s Christmas dreams
Sparkled in the sunlight.
 
Suddenly, out of the blue sky
A tree topper dropped down
And rested on the topmost bows,
A heron Christmas crown.
 
That evergreen beamed with delight,
It’s Christmas wish granted.
He no longer stood without hope,
But with bright joy instead.
 
Now, maybe it’s a fairy tale,
But maybe you should try
To just roll with the joyfulness
Of blessings from the sky.
For much like angels on Christmas,
Herons can also fly!
