Raised in Glory

Autumn leaves soon will fall
The summer season has past
Time puts limits on all things
Time moves ever so fast

A blanket of winter snow
Entombed within a cast
Unseen is the life below
Will this darkness last

Warmth of springtime flows
And through the fallen leaves
Signs of life begin to peek out
The cycle continues evolving

Beauty seemingly lost forever
Fallen, covered and left for dead
Once entombed within a cast
Time has released from the past

The beauty of nature appears
A new springtime without years
The promise of eternal life
Fallen, covered; Raised in Glory!
