There is a little Christmas bell
that hangs upon our tree
It was first hung for grandma
when she was only three

Each year it's hung upon the tree
with care and much delight
For generations it has been seen
so many Christmas nights

What stories this small bell could tell
of trees and candlelight
of homemade trimmings and the gifts
wrapped in colors bright

For all those of generations past
this little bell survived
and many who enjoyed it so
no longer are alive

But each year with care it's wrapped
and carefully put away
to be brought back for the memories
on another Christmas day.


******************

I would like to share with you why
this page and the bell
is so special.
The little bell you see ..
was made by my dad
with a spring from my baby bed I am told
..he took glue and added some glitter
and hooked a piece of wire on it
For my Christmas gift one year

It has hung from my tree all my life..
One day It will be passed on
to another family member
I know it will always
hang with love and memories
of all the Christmas times we had together
And bring joy to all who see it

God Bless
Merry Christmas to each and everyone
