Seasons

I am the snow I am the rain I am the leafless skeletal trees I am the ice on the village pond I am the frost that makes everything freeze I am the first shoots peeking through I am the birds that nest I am the first hint of new life I am a welcome guest I am the sun bright in the sky I am the heat of the day I am the holiday by the blue sea But sadly I cannot stay I am the golden leaves on the trees I am the cold red sun I am the mist the rain and the fog I am the chill when the day is done We are the seasons, we come and go We are a friend and a foe Your constant companions throughout your life We follow wherever you go
