WISH UPON A STAR (II)

Pinecones, adorned with bows and ribbons:
Each carries a sixteen-pointed star,
Paper sculpted, a German tradition,
Bringing greetings from afar.
Folded and molded with nimble fingers,
With love as the only glue,
Behold the wonder of the pinecone!
And may your fondest wish come true.
