forego the mistletoe

pretty twinkling lights
on the tree decorated with love
ornaments that each tell a story
of memories held dear
presents carefully wrapped
special surprises waiting
candles and fireplaces glow
offering warmth and light
poinsettia plants give vibrant life
another symbol of the season
cards arrive to send cheer
from those far away
snow falls quietly
calming and peaceful amidst the hustle
in the home of the lonely though
you'll never find the mistletoe
it is a useless Christmas adornment
