Seasons

I think the seasons begin with spring As the flowers start blooming and the birds start to sing Each day that goes by the temperature rises It brings powerful storms with plenty of surprises Then spring turns to summer and each day has more sun That’s when we hear the sound of laughter as the children are having fun So we do things each day to try to stay cool Weather we go to the lake or swim in the pool And then before you know it like an ever so distant call Comes the beautiful shiny colors with a season we call fall That’s when the trees drop their leaves without any sound And you never really notice ‘til they’re all on the ground The days start getting shorter when we notice were losing light The birds start flying to someplace warm while we prepare for a blanket of white And now the last season has come and winter is finally here It’s the time that children’s faces are full of laughter, joy and cheer Now things around us start to slow down as the cold weather begins to move in We fight the fevers, aches and pains but we never seem to win And then when things seem at their worst, it’s like counting from one to ten The birds start singing, the days get warmer ‘cause we know spring’s here again
