The Seasons
The changing seasons:
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall,
I love them all.
(Variety is said to be the spice of life).
And I enjoy their arrivals and departures;
Each unique with its set of characteristics.
Winter presents a choice: cross-country skiing or slalom;
To snowshoe in the woods or to go tobogganing.
Or to stay warm inside and read a book,
Or to go for a stroll and see the lights,
And enjoy the festive Yuletide season.
Spring brings the warm rains that freshen the earth;
When the imagination is set free after the winter pall;
And to lace up the sneakers after a winter in the gym,
To go jogging and feel the wind in your face.
Come Spring; love is in the air and new life is born.
Sunny summer, breezy and warm
Filling the days; deciding whether to bike or swim,
Or laze on the beach sun tanning,
Or to go out on the lake fishing.
Summer is the season to visit kin and rest from work.
Fall is the harvest, thankful for the abundance;
When leaves change colour and scatter in the wind
And walks in the forests are a common thing.
The days grow colder and the nights longer,
As winter approaches and Autumn ends.
