Transformation

Categories: Nature

On a cold, wet November day
Looking out at my garden sombre and grey,
A wonderful sight met my eyes
That really caught me by surprise
The silver birch was fused with sunlight
It’s leaves all shimmering, exceeding bright
Overnight they had changed from green to gold
Transforming the tree – making new from old.

Meditating about the silver birch tree
I realize how imperceptibly
God’s changing me from day to day
Bringing glorious new life from decay.

2 Corinthians 3:18
