A Tree in Winter

Tree In Winter Photo by Petr Kratochvil

I really don't know why, but I have a fascination with trees. While driving to my son Matthew's game today in Albertville I was looking out at the trees devoid of all leaves I had a simple thought - Shouldn't I be something like this tree?

Tree in Winter by Jennifer Jensen

Rooted firmly,
In the Truth and
In my most vulnerable state -
Totally humble.

Trusting,
That the One
Who gives life will
Bring a change.

Waiting patiently,
Without doubt or fear
For a Spring
And Everlasting Life.

Knowing,
This Life exists now
But only in part
And as a Shadow.

Hoping,
In a True Hope,
Yet living
With this longing.

Anticipating,
A Brighter Sun
That brings
A Glorious Day.
