Diamond Coat

One late fall morning I took my walk,
and in the early morning sunlight.
I saw that winter had visited, 
sometime in the middle of the night.

A soft blanket of white did conceal,
the dreariness of an autumn gone.
It had replaced it with a jeweled coat,
of a million diamonds upon my lawn.

I stood there staring across the field,
enjoying what nature had to give.
I thanked God for all of the riches,
that comes from this Ozark way to live.

"It had replaced it with a jeweled coat, of a million diamonds upon my lawn" The imagery of a garden shrouded with diamonds, such a sight to see. I envy you, God gave that to you.
