Tiny Tree


Tiny Tree on November 12, 2015
Holding on.
Despite those around her.
Offerings of decay.
Regardless of the chilling temperatures.
Without being broken by the threatening winds.
Though blanketed with a heavy sky.
Ignoring the certain future.
Her roots grow deeper in the soil of warmth and nourishment.
Knowing this is temporary.
Having purpose.
Even if small for now.
For her guaranteed eternity will Spring forth new life.
Abundantly.

Tiny Tree on November 23, 2015
This baby tree
Is still green.
Yet weakening to yellow
While holding on.
All of its peers
Have given up
As the snow and ice
Invade their lives.
Its strength
Its resolve
Is encouraging indeed.
But it's OK, oh little tree.
You've been designed
For a time as this.
Sleep for now.
It is not death.
You'll awaken again
If in Him you'll rest.


Bless and be blessed, 
Bobbie
