Beth's first Christmas

Holly berries never were so bright
before this Christmas
White of mistletoe beguiles the senses

Tucked within the blankets
in the basket is a teddy

Coloured lights and tinsel dreams
all shimmer on the tree

Fallen lashes can't conceal
nor silent lips convey
a satisfaction garnered in her lap

Protection for this newest life
Concern to keep this wonder safe

This baby who will overwhelm at Christmas
A presence at the centre of the heart
