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!!
