Agnes wrote this poem today:
The Christmas tree was taken down
At ten o'clock last night,
I'll miss its glowing ornaments,
I'll miss its radiant light.
The Wise Man that I bought for mom,
The little stable, too,
The pleasant little manger scene
I've grown accustomed to.
Gone are the days of my piano
Playing "We Three Kings,"
The pageants and the evergreen,
I'll miss these little things.
But God has given us a Son
To help us here on earth,
Our joy should not be any less
The month after His birth.
And though the ornaments are packed
We shall not shed a tear--
For Christ is still beside us now
To guide us through the year.
Absolutely beautiful!

This is a great poem -- Agnes should be VERY proud of herself (as should her mommy!)

She is a wonderful child, and a wonderful poet! You should send it to Julie at Bravewriter.
