Analysis of Entangled Lights and Life



For years of Christmas trees and lights,
Entanglement for sure
Would be a task that always bites
Which I had to endure!

It's strange how beauty sometimes can
Become a twisted mess,
Despite my best intended plan
Of hanging lights; no stress!

My life has been a Christmas tree;
Potential every year
With things I hope will help me see
How change helps me adhere!
