Like the Evergreen

Through the blinding snow,
And the driven rains,
They stand tall and strong,
Over and over again.

Reaching up to the heavens,
Branches like arms stretched out,
God's silent hallelujah chorus,
Gently swaying and waving about.

Surrendering gracefully to nature,
But never losing their grace,
Awe inspiring beauty,
And never out of place.

When I pass from this world,
When I exit this scene,
I want to be remembered,
Like the evergreen."
