@FrostPoem #MicroPrompt: Once a little bauble hung from a festively decorated tree. It was beautiful, glittery pink and dusted with gold which sparkled in the lights with its slightest movement. The tree was covered in all kinds of beautiful decorations: silver icicles, gold stars, red mini candy apples and green holly sprigs, but the angel on the top of the tree looked down at just one decoration, the little pink bauble. "Why are you so sad?" she asked. "Oh! oh!" sobbed the little bauble, "I love being here in this house, seeing the family. I want to be around all year, to see the spring, summer and fall, not just six weeks or so in the winter. But I know I'll be packed away every year until I'm not pretty anymore, then I'll be thrown in the trash and I'll never see my family again." The angel smiled and blew the littel bauble a kiss. Just then a pretty young woman walked up to the tree carryign the family's newest member, a baby nearing one year old. She showed the baby the lights, the decorations, the sparkling tinsel on the tree. "It's your first Christmas." she said. "So you get to choose one of these pretties to keep forever. Which will you have, Bella?"Bella looked carefully at the tree, at the lights, the red candy apples, the gold stars, the silver icicles. Then she reached out her hand and touched the little pink bauble. Bella's Mama smiled. "Now we'll take this and hang it in your nursery by the window as a reminder of this precious time. And you shall keep it until you're grown up." she said. The little bauble's heart almost burst with joy. The baby girl smiled, her Mama smiled, and away up on top of a tree a beautiful angel was smiling too. AMWriting #WritingCommunity
