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
