I’M IN LOVE
I’m in love with spring, when earth wakes anew,
And the bulbs you planted begin to show through
In a blaze of colour, and many birds return to sing,
I’m sure you know why I’m in love with spring.
I’m in love with summer, with her kind gentle ways,
Everywhere full of beauty, see how each leaf sways
In the caressing breeze that blows now much warmer,
Just a few reasons why I’m in love with summer.
I’m in love with the fall, it’s colours so vivid and bright,
Harvest from field and garden is such a wonderful sight,
The season that gives so much great bounty to all,
I am sure you can see why I’m in love with the fall.
I’m in love with the winter and it’s pure pristine snow,
And the signs of Christmas everywhere that you go,
Although the ice cold wind cuts like a cruel scimitar,
Believe it or not, but yes, I’m in love with the winter.
Whatever season comes along I will always fall in love,
From icy winds of winter to spring and the return of the dove,
For all the different seasons give us blessings in many ways,
For each in it’s short term it’s important part always plays.
