The Discarded Tree Poem by Patricia Grantham
The Discarded Tree
A bare Christmas tree stands all alone
Decorations and presents all are gone
That joyous time a thing of the past
The gift of Jesus will sure to last
Was a beautiful sight for all to see
Bought together friends and family
Lots of food and bounties of cheers
Family tradition down through the years
Now lies discarded at the bottom of the heap
Tossed into the ocean sinks down to the deep
Haven for corals, sea mammals and fishes
Floating listlessly no more santas wishes
Once stood tall the center of attention
So wonderful a thing that all could mention
The greatest story has already been told
God sent us a Saviour that'll never grow old

Beautiful poem. The symbols may come and go but the love and warmth of superb messages and great values are as permanent as the succession of day and night. Beautiful poem
Once stood tall the center of attention When its time is over, no one pays any attention. That is how life is. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
the tree is discarded and has sunk in the ocean, but your poem brings back so many emotions

Ritualistic symbols loose their relevance after the occasion, it is the message that is more relevant and that is very well expressed in last two lines of your of poem.
