A Christmas Tree of Memories


Upon our tree, the branches hold,
Ornaments of stories, brightly told.
Each bauble gleams with places dear,
Adventures shared throughout the year.

A seashell from the sunny shore,
Where laughter danced, and spirits soared.
A mountain pinecone, crisp and high,
Reminds us of the whispered sky.

The Eiffel Tower, small and bright,
Illuminates a Paris night.
A gondola in Venice’s grace,
Reflects the love in every place.

The desert’s sun, a golden hue,
Where dreams were vast and skies were blue.
A tiny lighthouse, standing strong,
Guides us back where we belong.

These cherished tokens, each a part,
Of journeys etched upon our heart.
Together on this Christmas Eve,
We gather ’round and softly weave.

A tapestry of love and cheer,
For every day and every year.
Our travels may take us far and wide,
But here at home, our hearts reside.

So let the lights in colors glow,
As stories of our travels flow.
This tree, adorned with memories sweet,
Is where our hearts and spirits meet.
