View from the window
View From Hallamshire Hospital Window
Man’s creation spreading outwards,
Towers of concrete, blocks of stone,
Steel structures full of windows,
Dwarfing houses, people’s homes.
See the city sprawling onward,
Marching up the hills beyond,
Huge office blocks, churches, steeples,
Shops and houses, chimneys long.
In between this sprawling suburb,
God’s creation struggles free.
Tall and stalwart, climbing upward,
Regal in its majesty.
There bedecked in all its splendour,
Waving arms of greenest leaves.
Standing proud in all its glory,
Symbol of new birth. The tree.
