A Poem to the Seasons

The year begins at Winter's peak
When snow and ice make daytime bleak
The sun is faint, its warmth so weak
And breath is seen when neighbors speak

But, comes the night when stars and moon
Upon the snow shine bright as noon
And blackened tree limbs from the gloom
Twinkle light with icicle bloom

Winter is a wonderful thing
Cold land encased in lace icing
A coiling in before the fling
Of new life welcoming warm Spring

Oh, the Spring so light and fair
Stringing blossoms through the air
Weaving grass for Earth to wear
Coaxing wildlife from their lair

The sun is bolder brightly shining
Tree and ivy grow entwining
Birds upon new seed are dining
Laboring on nests, refining

Earth with life is near refilled
And the garden plot is tilled
With thankfulness our chores are stilled
For God is close, it is as willed

Summer is a busy blooming
Bees and bugs are going, coming
Rivers running, bubbling, foaming
Deer are munching, playing, roaming

Clouds and lightening move in fast
Dumping rain till storm is passed
Robins to the puddles mass
Each to bathe as others sass

Food is fresh and rich with flavor
Each and every bite we savor
And with canning, storing labor
We give thanks for His great favor

Now comes Autumn with hoary frost
Upon each leaf and flower embossed
To change each color bright and crossed
With brittle lines and softness lost

But, oh, the sound of wind in trees
A choir of angels with each breeze
And colors rich and bright to please
The eye of every life that sees

The air is crisp and stirs my heart
To walk the woods till lights depart
To gather sticks into my cart
And after dark a bond fire start

Upon the twig we'll toast marshmellow
Bid the harvest moon a "hello"
Sing old songs with gusty bellow
And feel akin with every fellow
