Happy Letters

In winter time
Trees secretly write
Green happy letters
Every night
Tiny messages
Curled up tight.
Trees write these letters
When our world turns cold
When hope seems lost
When they long to hold
Memories of autumn
Glittering gold.
Spring fills trees
With joy and relief
Out pop happy letters
Leaf after leaf.
