Ode to the Christmas Tree

My Dear Christmas Tree.
You have been with Steve and I since our First Christmas together.
You have seen all 12 moves with us.
Been there for new kittens and kids.
You have stood and fell when the cats decided that they needed to climb you.
Not to mention the kids who love to knock you down too.
Did you know you have been decorated with love in many different houses and states?
But the time is here to say good-bye.
You have fallen one too many times.
Your stand is now broke and there is a crook in your side.
You are just leaning on a wall since the last fall was one too many.
We tried in one last attempt to make it through this Christmas season,
But it was no good.
We love the joy you have brought us.
It is time to say good bye!

ps. there will be pictures soon. I have lost my camera!!!!
