The Season of Love

No matter the frost of a cold Winter’s night No matter a white laden snow A season is more than a calendar’s right It’s more than a snowball to throw And though there’s a flower to welcome in Spring A breeze that is kissed by the sun It’s not just the breezes that touch everything To make the world’s hearts beat as one For though beaches beckon to shuffle the sand When Summer indeed takes a bow And Fall contemplates on the harvest at hand There is yet another somehow At holiday time, yet not checked by a date A season there is high above At Christmas for sure but it’s never too late Rejoice in the season of love

So lovely Mike! Indeed, we must rejoice in this season of love and love's promise for each season. Each of your lines flows as effortlessly as one day into another. I love the line "more than a calendar's night!" Congratulations on a fine win. The atmosphere is of a lovely "gentile-ness." Sending you all the blessings on the season.

A season is ... 'more than a snowball to throw.' Actually, I'm hoping that as soon as I throw a snowball, winter in Chicago will end. Ha, ha. Silly me. Congrats on POTD, Mike!!
