O Chrisstmas Tree

Standing tall
Standing Straight
Branches reaching
Collect visitors on a trip.
Green with life
The smell of pine ---
Setting the scene
It's Christmas Time.
Shelter for the birds in flight
Huddling for the warmth at night ---
Fluffing feather and checking babies
Shielded from the storm and bite
With heavy branches ---
A delight.
