Changing Seasons
I start with Spring glorious spring
the time when things wake up
and once more colour floods
the earth with beautiful scented flowers
They all bask with delight in the yellow sun
while birds are busy building nests
in which to lay and tend to their chicks
one day they soon will fly.
Spring fades into the hot warmth of summer
now its the turn of insects and creepy crawlies
ants scurry along about their tasks
now bees busily collect the pollen for honey.
Beautiful ladies promenade with their beau's
watching lovely butterflies take to wing
some are caught by passing birds
that delight in feasting on all insects.
On we go to autumn sadly saying good bye to summer
time now to bring in the bountiful harvest
larders stuffed full with goodies
like apples, corn and herbs
Stored away for later when winter's snow cover the earth
turning all white tucking into each crevice
and frost dangles like sparkling tinsel
or maybe even jewels of every colour
Lakes and shallow ponds freeze over
making people gladly huddle in front of roaring fires
sniffing the smells drifting in from the kitchen
Its Christmas and once more we Remember the Lord.
Also the true meaning of his birth
we can hear God whispering in our ears
all now start to get tired of this frozen land
yearning for much warmer chimes.
Suddenly one day winter dies away
Spring once again begins to rule the land
