Cornucopia of Seasons

The winter has in store a vast supply
        of church cantatas, Christmas gifts, and joy;
           of Santa, snowball fights, hot cocoa by
           the fire; of comfy overcoats and gloves;
            of Valentines and winds of early March.

	                  Spring ushers in a
                plenitude of blooms: pink, white
                      and yellow; leaves that
                 clothe the trees; April showers,
          Easter, school spring break, and proms. 

        The summer overflows with lengthy days,
            July 4 celebrations; freedom’s praise;
    trips to the beach, swim parties, heat and haze;
       vacation Bible School and sun’s bright rays.

             Fall spills out its abundance of days
           that range from hot to downright cold,
           sparkling frost and leaves that change
                from green to brown and gold,
                       thrills of Halloween,
                       Thanksgiving meals
                             enjoyed at
                             Grandma’s
                                house.
