Michala was asked to enter her poem into the contest at school. She chose not to because she is a very modest, private soul. She also hates to be embarrassed in any way. She said I could post it on the family blog so that Grandma Breeze and Grandpa Nichols could read her poem and be proud of her. Really it is her way of getting her poem published without her friends having to read it. :) It is a beautiful, thoughtful, poem.
The Lonely Tree
Far away in a lovely green land
One tree stands alone
The scent of dust slowly appears
While the other trees disappear
The lonely tree watches with grief
While the other trees are decorated with care
The children gather with happy belief
And many carols ring through the air
Now a couple enters the clearing
The tree stands tall with dreams
The couple finally looks around
They smile at him it seems
Now the snow is falling gently on the ground
While the tree stands bright with care
It too is now beautifully decorated
A star shining brightly in the air
Now the tree is surrounded by music
Its whole world has changed now
While presents are placed under its needles
It quietly asks itself; how?
