Festival Take-Down

Sabbath Morning rolled around.

In my hurry and rush it went unnoticed.

Pulling, wrapping, lifting, packing

Could not walk past my tree.


Keep busy walking and loading

Find the missing dolly!

Label, label, wrap, wrap

Tug and load, it's gotten cold.


Small morning hours when

Thoughts are crowded,

Comes the signal,

We are done.


Driving home in chilly darkness

Sorrow of completion overwhelms;

I miss my tree!

Keep it safe, wherever it may be.

  1. Loved this, Debbie. I'm sure your tree was amazing. I've had lots of friends that were able to go and I've heard nothing but the best of compliments on Festival this year. Congrats!

  2. It truly was beautiful. I was so happy to have seen it in person. What a great tribute to sweet Joseph and an amazing help to so many little kids and families. So sad....but glad you can breathe a little (yeah right, eh!) Hee hee. Gorgeous!
