Shining Tinsel

LIKE STRANDS OF SHINING TINSEL

 

"Like strands of shining tinsel,

Hope will ever weave

Through his sorrow, who remembers

Candles Christmas Eve.

 His tongue will not grow bitter

Who learns in youth the glory

Of the old sweet Christmas carols

And the manger story.

 Nor love and faith quite vanish

For one with memories

Of dreams come true on laden,

Star-tipped Christmas trees.

 So fill the house with fragrance

Of cedar boughs, with laughter-

These are gifts a child heart

Will keep forever after."

Poem from Kitchen Sonnets by Ethel Romig Fuller

It is that time of year where tinsel, songs, and boughs of evergreen

make an appearance.

Have you hung your sparkles?

Do you have a song in your heart?

Put on your party dress, dance, sing, and savor each moment.

Photos taken at Bella Flora, my favorite go to shop when 

I need my spirits to soar.
