A Season's Dance

A SEASON'S DANCE Summer is the season For gardens and vacation time Strolls along the seashore Or in mountains so sublime Though days are hot beyond belief We cool off by the pool With thoughts of Autumn on our mind 'Cause we're nobody's fool Then lo the Autumn days appear The temperature goes down Trees take on a different hue Gold, crimson, orange, then unsightly brown Then Winter looms, ready to pounce The thermometer dips ever so low We watch in anticipation Wondering how much lower it may go Thanksgiving comes, then Christmas With no relief in sight The New Year follows closely Still we shiver in the night Then April comes so blissfully Bringing with it lovely flowers We feel the chill begin to leave Being replaced by April Showers And now we check the pollen count Oh what a dastardly thing Yet we smile so joyfully As we greet Spring, beautiful Spring Curtis Moorman 24 September 2013
