I've been looking for a Christmas Tree
The search has been so hard
Last night, I found the perfect one
Outside in my front yard
I venture past it every day
But, it never caught my eye
The tree is forty two feet tall
It reaches to the sky
Last night as I was leaving home
The moon shone oh so bright
It caught the snow on one low branch
And it really was a sight
I looked at it much closer
Saw perfection to my surprise
I'd been looking for the perfect tree
And here it was before my eyes
I couldn't bring it in the house
It would stay out front for all to see
We'd decorate it outside where it stood
The Perfect Christmas Tree
We started putting lights on it
We could only go so high
A neighbor stopped on his way home
with an idea he said to try
He came back by this morning
With some friends and just our luck
They came with two long ladders
And a bright red fire truck
In no time all the neighbors
Started coming by to see
They all bought decorations
For our giant Christmas Tree
It took two days to finish it
This tree that stood so tall
We planned to light it up that evening
To be seen by one and all
On Christmas Eve it happened
The fire truck made one last stop
They extended both their ladders
We put the star up on the top
It was perfect, and we knew it
The neighborhood was there as one
The lights and decorations
Made it light up like the sun
So, next time you need something
Look around and you might find
Perfection, like our Christmas Tree
Just as God designed
