- LIFE
- by Peter Deuel
- 1956 (age 16)
When I see those pine
trees oh so high
- Stretching up to reach the sky,
- I no longer wonder at the mystery--
- God's creation of you and me.
-
- Life, and death so often feared
- Is by nature so beautifully cleared;
- When one observes the leaves in fall
- There is no solemn deathly pall
- But a brightness and color that means
but one thing
- That life is restored, the following
spring.
-
- Death is not the end of all
- Yet just the close of a glorious fall
- To be followed as soon as one's faith
has been sought
- By that eternal spring which for us
God has wrought.
