Snow Fences

Undulating with the land 
Lining roads like concert chairs
Or spiked hair on shaven heads 
Stalwartly just standing there 

Oft’ a perch for falcon’s rest 
Summer frame for winding vine 
Holding firm they pass the test
Braving weather of all kinds 

Catching troves of tumbling weeds 
Flat toothpicks knit in stout rows 
Cannot bind the blowing wind 
Yet guard roads from drifting snow

Countless passers-by go on 
Hurrying yet to places fair 
Through gusting winds, o’er slippery roads 
Safer for snow fences there

Thank You, LORD, for the myriad ways protection is given as we travel through this world. Please bless all whose efforts bring ease, safety. and comfort to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
