Love's Eternal Wreath

On a cold winter morning I gazed at a tree covered in snow
It reminded me of an old wreath full of holly and mistletoe

I imagined you playing, out by that big ole tree
But instead I wished for what I wanted to be
I just sobbed and I cried and collapsed to the floor
After a while, I dried my tears and went to the door

I went out to the shed and grabbed the tree trimmer
Then walked to the place that I caught your Glimmer
I clipped and I cut until there was just enough
I bundled them together and took in my stuff

To the table I went to lay it all out and plan what to do
I thought of that old wreath and the memory of you
I took hold of a branch and made it twist and turn
Every breath I took, your presence I would yearn

A perfect circle, symbol of eternity is what I had made
To hang up this season so your memory won’t fade
Such beautiful green color gives me hope of life anew
Keeping your spirit alive through the Christmas blue

Catching your glimmer out by that snow covered old evergreen
Gives me a feeling of your presence, even though you’re unseen
