December 23, 2000 -- A FEW LIGHT REFLECTIONS
Ten years ago in a a similar season,
A baby arrived, and gave us a reason
To light the magnolia tree on Rue Dove,
And many lights more on the oak trees above.
We knew that our hearts weren’t two sizes too small,
But we knew that our tree was three sizes too tall.
How could we reach the uppermost branches,
Without our taking incredible chances?
The ladder alone could reach only so high,
But with a long pole we could reach to the sky.
People who came down the street asked to pay
Our light bills, received on the previous day.
We said “No”, then decided to tell,
That a much better purpose would be The Deep Well.
House after house began then to light
Beautiful strings: blue, red, green and white.
The traffic increased year after year,
Presents and food for The Well did appear.
So when you drive by look up in the tree,
A beautiful dove with ten stars you will see.
A star for each year… it’s a wonderful show.
We’re glad you came by, and we want you know.
