WINTER TREES

 

                                                                      WINTER TREES

                                               Winter trees
​                                               No longer barren
​                                               Vacant, bare
​                                               But, now because
​                                               Of fallen snow
​                                               They stand glistening
​                                               Shimmering, shining
​                                               Soft crystal-pearled
​                                               Sentinels of light
​                                               In the day and
​                                               In the night
​                                               No artificial lighting
​                                               Needed for these trees
​                                               Showing God's beauty
                                               And soft majestic might  
​                                               Silently, with no words spoken
​                                               No words needed
​                                               Silent witnesses
​                                               Standing beautifully
​                                               Standing tall
