Memories of Snow

Mama's Angel

Mama's Angel

mama wanted a Christmas angel
to go on top of the tree,
we looked and looked
until we found one
that Mama though was beautiful.

An angel
dressed in white,
like the snow on Mount Charleston;
Mama loved to look at the angel
even when it was not
on top of the Christmas tree.

I'm not sure when this was written. I know it was before we gave away the artificial Christmas Tree we had at the house on Bracken Avenue.
