Songs of the Seasons- a Collaboration With Heidi Sands

Spring has fragrant blossoms to reap And as it awakens from slumber deep Spring sings of blooms and life anew And butterflies and skies of blue Summer sings of sun and sand Of ice cream cones and getting tanned Of beautiful sunsets that delight Of moonlit walks on sultry nights It is in these moonlit walks I take Crystalline steps with wishes I make That started with Spring's new beginning My heart just keeps on singing Let there be peace, sunrise to sunset In a butterfly's flight to things unseen yet Let sweet ice cream tasted in every flavor Blend into memories at warm beaches to savor For autumn's song will soon take hold With rustling leaves of red and gold Soon the trees will have no melody to share For autumn's song will leave them bare Until snow spreads like an angel's wings Lining tree branches with glistening white Softly, my heart continues to sing In the silence of snow, falling into the night ~~ Acknowledgements: My deepest thanks and appreciation to Heidi for sharing her poetic voice. Heidi it has been a pleasure working with you.

Joseph, you guys both ROCKED it. This is so beautiful. I hope it's ok to mention the name of who you collaborated with (for Soup rules), anyway, I want to look her up and tell her what a great job she did.
