Bare Fields of Winter
In the bare fields of Winter,
To be found are lessons tender.
Themes of life they gladly render;
Words of wisdom to saint or sinner.
They are prepared for any rhyme or reason.
Note how they portray rest and freedom.
Note how they endure the chilly season.
They do not feel locked in a prison.
They are at peace with last year's harvest.
The fields of Winter have given their best.
They rely upon nature and God to do the rest.
They fought gallantly against every harmful pest.
They receive and absorb the heavy assaults of rain.
They boldly shield themselves from the winds of pain.
Fields of Winter anticipate the Spring and its gains.
And they visualize the Fall fields of grain.
