Branches

Some branches weep
Some we can climb
Some last through
Many splendid
Seasons
Of time.

Different colors,
Different shapes
Found among
Earth’s blessed
Landscapes.

A place for a nest
And an afternoon rest
For a sparrow, chickadee
Or a robin red-breast.

Branches …budding in Spring
Fragile flowers they bring…
Pink and white blossoms -
Perfect offering.

Branches …Bend in the breeze
Weather the storms
Welcome the sun
Quietly,
Deliberately...
Thankfully.
