Tell Me a Tale

Tell me a tell of summers' past. 
Of Sunsets and seashells lying in our path.

Tell me a tale of Autumn leaves, crunching beneath our feet.
Of cold crisp air that kisses our cheeks.
Of Autumn's pallet that stains mountain peaks.

Tell me a tale of dark skies contrasting the white snowfall.
Of red cheeks and noses. 
Of sleigh rides and mistletoe. 
Of Singing Christmas carols.

Tell me a tale of melting snow.
Of flowers blooming and birds chirping.
Of the sun peeking up at the big blue sky.
Of little ducks swimming with their mothers in ponds nearby.

Tell me a tale of seasons.
Of all the wonderful things to know.
Of life's simplicities.
And all the stories you know.
