| Evergreen The cool smooth touch of the evergreen Smells of freshness and life spring forth Longing for the rain and snow of the winter Happy and green, waiting for summer growth A symbol of never ending life, the Evergreen A wreath of green welcomes you in A garnish of green warms the hearth Crackling with life, if feeds the fire hot Evergreen provides man with bounty, with life It shades the ground, enriches the Earth Holds the snow high and forms beauty Evergreen sings in the wind, nature’s song Protects the life that lives within its branches Evergreen, a good symbol of life Man should do so well as the evergreen Protecting those that depend on him Helping all life while harming none Man creates beauty, continues life Evergreen and man, symbols of life. ©2009 Carl Watts www.carlwattsartist.com |
