STANDING IN THE SNOW



   It's falling from the sky, It's cold coming down,



  Raining upon me, I don't make a sound.



  I'm here alone under the Winter night sky,



  Around me a white blanket, no warmth does it give.



  No leaves have my branches, naked in the wind,



  I've stood for many seasons, this is where i'm planted.



  A time I was small, now I've grown so tall,



  Standing in the snow, only once in a while.
