Seasons
Summer vacations spent down at the sea,
A great time of leisure - a great place to be;
Christmas and New Year and hot, sunny weather,
Laughter and fun with our families together.
Autumn - its splendour and riches of gold,
A beauty unrivalled, with colours untold,
Tree after tree with an awesome display
With leaves from a carpet in bright disarray.
Winter - the land in a blanket of snow,
Snug, cosy evenings a fire's warm glow,
A silence - a stillness - as though the earth sleeps
Awaiting the promise that Spring always keeps.
Spring heralds life and renewal again,
A fresh, green awakening and,soft, gentle rain;
Delicate blossoms and small buds appear,
For many, a favorite time of the year.
The way every season is ordered and planned
Reveals to mankind the touch of GOD's hand;
HIS love and HIS care for each person and nation
Are shown by the majesty of HIS creation.
