The tinsel in distress
Carol didn't stand
She instead knelt on the floor
Weeping like a child
A princess lost in a moor
Drawing castles in the sand
The star of her own tale
She focused on her inner self
Rather than the cranberry cane
Her father stood behind her
The tree branch in his hand
Present ready set
No room for fantasy land
The virgin night witnessed it all
The beating, the tears, the play
The tinsel in distress fall
The birth of a new day
