The Christmas Tree of Dreams

In a cozy little home, where the fire's warm and bright
There's a tree that tells a story, shining in the night
As each child turns eleven, for generations three
They craft and hang an ornament, dreaming of what they'll be

On the Christmas tree of dreams, a child's future dangles
Each ornament a story, a precious thing to untangle
Some dreams have found their wings, some faced the darkest night
But together they all shine, in the twinkling Christmas lights

Julie sought a future, as a lawyer or a judge
Always fair and thoughtful, she never held a grudge
Now she's in the courtroom, fighting for what's right
Her ornament still sparkles, in the Christmas tree lights

Michael wanted to fight fires, ready to save the day
At twenty-one, he did just that, at a house's fiery blaze
Three children owe their lives to him, his hero dream came true
His ornament shines brightly, in the Christmas tree's warm hue

On the Christmas tree of dreams, a childs future dangles
Each ornament a story, a precious thing to untangle
Some dreams have found their wings, some faced the darkest night
But together they all shine, in the twinkling Christmas lights

Bobby was the guardian, defending his siblings all
At just nineteen, he went to war, answering duty's call
He never made it home, making the final sacrifice
Now his ornament's a beacon, in the quiet Christmas night

Each ornament's a memory, of dreams both near and far
In the glow of Christmas Eve, they show us who we are
From joy to deepest sorrow, each story has its place
On the Christmas tree of dreams, this families sacred space

So gather 'round the tree, and hold your loved ones near
For each ornament reminds us, of the dreams we hold so dear
In the spirit of the season, let your heart take flight
On the Christmas tree of dreams, shining through the night
