Analysis of DECORATING (Poem #354)
A wreath is hanging upon my door, which is
decorated with glitter and bows.
It can be seen from out to the street
A welcome to my guests it shows.
The tree is decorated and ready for this
wonderful night.
And the yard is dressed and strung
with all kinds of Christmas light.
The stockings are hung on
the fireplace
Everything is ready with no
time to waste.
Inside a fire is glowing within the
stove of wood.
I've given my thanks for His gifts, and
God said, “It is good.”
