All in White
by Kristina WoodhillAll in White
I woke today and peeked outside
And there You were all dressed in white
A sugar coating, crisp and cold
From last nights hints of frost foretold.
I bow to You, as do my plants
On go warm boots! On go warm pants!
The windmill that my man once made
Faces stillness, unafraid.
Your quiet peace will calm my soul
It stills my work, it rests my hoe
I do not mourn the loss of leaves
The birds gone south, my warm long sleeves
Yes! There You are all crisp and bright
To bid this old tired Earth goodnight.
No new attire Ill have to buy
For all I own looks great with White.
