The Holly
The Holly
Vibrant red berries, juicy and sweet,
A healthy snack for the birds to eat,
They speak of health, what more can I say?
A joy to see on a winter's day.
The light dances off the leaves,
As the winter sun its brightness weaves,
The Lord above also weaves his love,
As he sent his son down from above.
May you know God's love and yes let's be jolly,
For we mustn't forget the good old holly.
About this poem
The poem describes a holly branch. It was coming up to Christmas and I thought I would write a fun poem about the Holly but also about faith in God. Kim xx
