Green Willow of Hope: Poem by Cynthia Abegail

Green myriads of colour, light and dark hues

Fascinates the cherubic young and the mews 

As the forests teem with green trees a standing 

With green moss thirst for moisture landing!

Remembered the emerald I kept on my pillow,

Sparkling like jade and sapphire by the willow

As green as the rainbow encircling the throne

Of the Most High with diamond, rubies' dome.

As the grasses are green before it dries brownish,

Living water nourishes in the night of darkness

His love sustains me in the sad day of bleakness.

Hope is coloured green as far as the horizon,

Yonder in paradise while the brook summon
