There is a beautiful chestnut tree that stands tall outside my window
Every winter it throws off its former glory of its summer and autumn coats
In winter it is kept warm by the falling snow that settles on its branches
Waiting for the new time, so it can begin again to grow and shelter those who will make their home
Continuous change to meet each season with a new and wonderful colour
As the spring now is about to open its doors, the buds form and slowly wait to burst
The man within looking out is no different and yet fails to recognise the same
Possibilities and opportunities that each day will bring
Worrying about what was, rather than what is now
Embracing the time to show the many coats he can wear as the seasons come and go
The tree does not wait for its death and think of what can be
The tree smiles and greets each new season with joy
So to the mindset of this man can also be
