Through my mother's eyes were seen the days
of Christmas's gone by
When all her children came in haste
to gather by her side

No tree this year my little ones
she would apologize
Though we all hoped it wasn't true
Your mother doesn't lie

Through my mother's eyes was see a tree
with Christmas lights so bright
But it would need a little help
to make it look just right

It's not much, she said, but it will do
We'll have a Christmas tree
And it will be the best of all
You just wait and see

It was oddly shaped and very small
but beautiful indeed
Even though our Christmas tree
was just a tumble weed

Though time went by and years between
I still recall the sighs
When we all saw a Christmas tree
Through my mother's eyes.

Brilliant!!

Well Merry christmas to you too Bill!!! (big hugxoxox)

Yes! Merry Christmas Kay-Lynn.
Bill

“Through My Mother’s Eyes” is a true-to-life Christmas memory about love, sacrifice, and seeing beauty where others might not. When times were hard and there was no tree, a mother’s honesty and heart turned a simple tumbleweed into something unforgettable. Years later, that moment still shines—proof that the greatest gifts are presence, truth, and love, seen through a mother’s eyes.

Thumb nails are pretty important , thats what the viewer sees , and either stops , or moves on

I'm not stealing your thunder , I'm showing you a thumbnail

on your title use this

“Through My Mother’s Eyes where faith did the decorating". it's all eye candy so listeners click on song

You have to try to stand out


As of early 2025, roughly 2.6 million videos are uploaded to YouTube daily (from 518,400 hours of content), thats Dailey

Wow that's a lot of info.

Not really . Title first , Description next , hash tags next , Artist sound alike next . All you have to do is go to your vid , copy and paste . Find 5 artists you sound like, it's about a 10 minute job. The only thing that was not provided for you was the artist sound alikes

Where do I get a thumbnail?

Ten Thousand Angels is a song about grace showing up when you don’t even know how to ask for it. It’s about unseen hands, quiet strength, and the feeling that you’re not walking alone — even on the hard days. Sometimes hope doesn’t shout… it surrounds you.

its all in one box, Description box

Fiverr can make one for 7 bucks or something

will this work?

No , You need title of song in there and your name , and something for eye grabbing , its a visual thing. Look at my thumb nail . Thats what people see

See that , the profanity pic made people stop

Well what kind of thumbnail would match the song?

Something that attracts the listener to stop scrolling and listen

Mmm tried to delete that thumbnail but there is no delete button. When I hit change it just gives me the bright xmas tree

This is what chatgpt said to use.

A humble, oddly shaped tumbleweed wrapped gently with warm white Christmas lights, standing alone like a small Christmas tree in a quiet, simple living room or dusty rural yard. Soft golden glow, low light, nostalgic and emotional mood. Subtle country Americana feel. Warm browns, ambers, and soft shadows. Cinematic, shallow depth of field, slightly blurred background.

Include handwritten-style text overlay that reads: “Through My Mother’s Eyes” in soft white or warm cream ink, slightly imperfect handwriting, gentle and emotional, placed in clean negative space near the top or bottom of the image.

Photorealistic, high detail, heartfelt, intimate, evokes memory, love, sacrifice, and a mother’s quiet strength. Centered composition, readable at small thumbnail size

or that , its description

It won't let me delete the thumbnail without deleting the whole thing

Should say replace thumbnail

yes, it says replace, but then it wants me to pick something else from my computer files. there is no "auto generate" button

Well first you have to make Thumb nail , Down load it . Then you load it in there. that thumb nail is in computer , on download file , or recent if its a Mac , You don't want auto generate , thats a pic from vid , useless

ok well the tumbleweed xmas tree was the thing I could find

ok , See if people stop scrolling to listen to it , its all visual . Wow look at that , think I'll listen

Yeah, I understand, but there is nothing shocking about a tumbleweed.. hahahha

nope lol , its boring , Thats all I know on description , title , hash tags artist sound alikes , there's more to it , but what ?

That beautiful Christmas tree is mama's dream. Do not touch it. The tumbleweed is stark depression, and brings tears to my eyes.
Bill

We'll see it works on the tumble weed . like I said it's all visual . Shock is better, or something to surprise viewers

A great thumbnail is clear, relevant, high-contrast, and emotionally engaging, using bright colors, simple layouts, and minimal, readable text to quickly tell viewers what the video's about and make them curious to click, often featuring expressive faces or surprising visuals to stand out. The tumble weed does not fit that criteria. it's business. some of mine suck
