Each strand so carefully
Strung on the tree
I would watch her in awe
And all I could see
Was the loving expression
On her smiling face
Nana knew exactly
How the tinsel should place
One silver thread
On each limb of pine
Another laid gently
So neat and so fine
For hours she’d continue
In her spirited way
So perfection would greet us
On that Christmas Day
She’d turn on the lights
Such a sight to behold
The sparkle of Christmas
Would never grow old
How I miss those days
How I miss you, sweet Rose
You decorated my heart
This, Heaven surely knows
