~ Winter's Rainbow ~
Sifted sugar on the
ground
Winter white for all to
see
On the treetops, all
around
Sparkling, stately
majesty
Early morning sun does
glow
Pink, at first, then
turns to yellow
Smiling down on all
below
Look, here comes that
cardinal fellow
So red against a cloak
of white
How joyfully this birdie
sings
A candy cane with just
one stripe
Such sweet delight this
birdie brings
In everlasting evergreen
Cardinal preens and
sings his song
More lovely sight I've
never seen
It takes to wing, then
'fore too long
It's red against a sky
of blue
As Mister Finch goes
flying high
I'd love to will him
back for you
He will return, yes,
by-and-by
Purple grows the
shadows, long
An orange sun hangs in
the sky
We will wait, we will be
strong
Tomorrow he'll be back
-- (I sigh)
No diamond could ever
shine as
brightly, nor as purely,
as when the
sun smiles down on
pristine snow.
Winter's slumber and
winter's wonder
are a blessing from our
Father, so that
all may witness the
"death" of flowers
and grass and other
living things, only
to be delighted, in the
springtime, by
their rebirth. As
sunshine and moonbeams
reflect off the snow, so
it is that we, too,
reflect upon our lives
and our love of family,
friends and cherished
traditions. So, too,
do we find time, in the
winter, to reflect
upon our very nature and
our commitment
to He, who is greater
than we are.
