The Mistletoe

  Where there's none watching A place where Santa misses Above an arc with Juliet blooms hidden in a silent corner A lone mistletoe drooped The red berries were pretty, though sad  The plant could spread its vines far  The fruits scattered between the leaves and wooden stems They wait to be noticed So what of the Juliet blooms? Lest they be overshadowed! The mistletoe bent its head low Hiding as it had been before Knew that the Juliet blooms could never be overshadowed. They were far too pretty!
