The Seasons and the Sun

The Seasons and the Sun By Franklin Price 9/24/2018 The Earth's always rotating In its orbit 'round the sun Its tilt upon its axis Causing seasons to be run Day and night are shorter/longer As the light and dark are cast The seasons four are equal As the sun is going past Fall is now upon us It started only yesterday Determined by the time it took To pass the light away Fall's daylight time is equal To the daylight start for spring The only time within the year It's an Earthly orbit thing Daylight now gets shorter Some two minutes every day Every year it happens We the People have no say Will get shorter until Winter starts On the shortest daylight time Then longer every day 'til Spring It's the rhythm and the rhyme The longer days not stopping there Only marked to equal fall Days ever longer until Summer The longest daylight time of all Then shorter ever shorter Through the Fall to Winter cold Those are the reasons for the seasons At least, by science, we are told Fall is time to settle down Winter time is made for rest Spring brings life again to earth Summer's growing time is best
