Sunbeam Sleeves

Winter leaves us shivering, and leaves trees bare
 As we await the cherished spring
 Snow is everywhere
 And upon the branches snowflakes cling
 As silence becomes frozen on the wing

 Spring brings to trees their leaves of green
 And brings all the blooms we see
 The landscape becomes a beautiful scene
 And squirrels chatter with glee
 As they scamper up a dogwood tree

 Then birdsongs awaken me at dawn
 as the wind rustles through the leaves
 The sun rises with a yawn
 And through the foliage its light weaves
 And attires the branches with sunbeam sleeves
