Advent Wreath

A ring of wood, four candles tall
A crown of fir upon the door
Pine knotted branches interweave
Red ribbon, Laurel... Holly leaf

For Christ's soon return we are bown 
Symbol of victory the crown
Spherical... ethereal glow 
"Crown of Thorns" ribboned-blood now flows   

Four advent weeks, the four seasons
Four cardinal virtues... the reason
Bright flames bring Christmas peace and hope  
Evergreens... sign of life and hope 

Evergreens.... God's eternity 
Laurel... thwarts sin and suffering 
Holly... the thorns which Christ endured  
Strong Fir trees... in God we're assured  

Again we await Christ the King
Forgiveness, faith, joy and teachings; 
Each candle we burn represents 
On the sacred wreath of Advent
