A cold winter comes short days and gloom, steps aside for spring then flowers bloom. Then we welcome summer but alas no rain, blown away by autumn then it starts again. Written 27th July 2020

The cycle of weather just like the cycle of life, but seasons get to live eternally whereas us humans have one shot at making our lives bloom! Great awesome poem, a fave! Blessings, Jennifer.

Springtime always brings me hope, Tom. We've had nearly nine inches of rain in the past three days and now Isaias may bring more and cause flooding. I like the way you described each season so beautifully! Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Carolyn
