Barren trees tall and straight
Standing strong and brave
Roots sturdy in ground
Secure deep down below
in crystal clear white snow
Golden sunlight shines through
Reflection of shadows in pure white snow
branches bend
branches reach
branches stretch
branches twist
in all directions they go
Walking through the woods
Shadows follow
Dreams and expectations
to live up to
What direction does one take in life
Follow the lighted path
Snow will finally melt
Sunlight will shine and reflect
Shadows will follow
Even to death
