Wreaths

Wreaths

December 14, 2021

Forging through the wilderness with cousins to collect material to make a wreath!

Pine tree cuttings, fallen pinecones, spikey holly leaves and bright red berries all topped with a bow.

They came out better than we expected and we plan on making them every year now!

Then there was no complaining making cookies and hot cocoa. :)

I once heard someone say,

If you don't change you do not grow,

But I waved the thought away,

For who were you to think they know,

I'd always stayed the same,

A heart that thrived within the cold,

And I had no desire to change,

At least that's what I had been told,

But deep within my mind,

A thought grew slowly, bit by bit,

Until I felt trapped in my skin,

For it no longer seemed to fit,

There's a whole world sitting out there,

Changing every single day,

That proves it's nothing to be scared of,

If you do it the right way,

For a day afraid to turn to night,

Will miss the silver moon,

And a flower that refuses to change,

Will never get to bloom,

I had thought I was a thorn bush,

Only good for snagging clothes,

But if you do not dare to change,

You'll never find out you're a rose.
