Faithfulness of Seasons

Each day the sun rises
Dependable light source
The birds sing your praises
With fervent joy of course

Fall follows summer now
Season of slower pace
The farmer puts away plow
Rural life a different race

Winter brings very own challenge
With a chill all around
That sun keeps on rising
Even the birds slow their sound

Then one day Son triggers
An awakening to those resting
No longer is it winter
Spring's voice is calling

Hey Sarah this is so very lovely, God Bless xx P.S. My bresthe poem-when I got out of the shower this morning, I suddenly realised that is was based on Smlie, though your heart is breaking,etc.. song-panicked for a bit, because I thought I'd committed plagiarism! :-)

a very good one Sara, sometimes i just ask myself, do we people see how the sun never refuses to come out and shine every morning and i feel inspired motivated that i should never hesitate to do what is right.

Indeed, the seasons are ever changing and the sun never ceases to rise, though it sets earlier in the winter, Sara. I like the way you described how the "Son," our Lord, triggers the awakening of spring. Lovely poem, Sara. Best wishes, Carolyn

Sara, thanks for the heads up! I did notice the last stanza but only after I read it again and I could not go back and edit my comment.. Would be awesome that day when the Master calls those that belongs to Him.. Thank you for your kind comments today as well.. Hope your Tuesday will be a blessed one ;)
