The Seasons

Sweat pours 
from your face and body
Hot days and nights
Sometimes make it unbearable

Sand runs through
your fingers and toes
It feels so nice

Splash!
Cold water from the pool
feels so good!
The salty ocean  and the clear blue lake
Brings instant relief to a very warm day

The leaves fall
sweaters come out
pumpkins fill up the neighborhood
First day of school jitters
Replaced by a warm fireplace glow

The chatter of teeth
Seeing your breath in the air
The holidays come and go
Old Lang Syne rings in the New Year

Dark days and night gradually begin to disappear
Snow melts and grass begins to appear
Leaves start to appear on trees

Spring breezes fill the air
Short sleeves replace long 
Heavy pants are a thing of the past
As trees become full of color
