Naming the Trees
Green leafy branches
sway in the breeze
loving my trees
Reminders of a fun spring day,
a visit to the tree auction.
Bravely waving my number
again and again,
big grin on my face...
Visions of my barren yard
being transformed
into a lush paradise.
From thin wisps these trees have grown
Tall, beautiful and strong.
The years have seen them stretch
taller than the house.
Now from down the road
they welcome me
Heralding home.
Oakley; beautiful, shapely, tall and strong
Silverado in all his shimmering loveliness
The three amigos; my cheerful poplars,
towering masses of quivering leaves
so wonderfully big, shooting for the skies!
Curly willows, artistic beauties
unique, tenacious!
Guardian; his green gorgeousness,
framed by my bedroom window
Sharing the seasons
Colouring my world
Reaching for the sky
Giving shade
Clapping their hands with joy
Bringing glory to their Creator
And joy to His Beloved
I'm so grateful for the green growth
For new hope and a new season.
