The Wreath By Camille A. Balla I made a beautiful wreath Of the blessings that I share Wrapped around with love from every friends And filled with heartfelt care. My friends have been such a gift to me Each in a special way And I would like to let them know In honor of Christmas day. Some bring Faith in time of doubt And some bring hope to me; Some bring love that cast out hear, And sets my spirit free. With some I've laughed, with some I've danced, As Joy is theirs to give. From some I've learned inner peace And a simpler way to live. My wreath entwines the gifts Of all the carrying folk I know? I weave a ribbon of love around And tie it in a bow. I'll take my wreath to the Little Child As I speak to Him in prayer, And ask for Christmas blessings For my good friends everywhere What The Wreath Symbolizes Straw: Jesus, the Son of God became a man in a lowly manger.
