~ Seasons Are Like Friends ~

The leaves are slowly changing now,
And falling to the ground.
Yes, it’s that time of year,
That fall has come around

Oh, where has the summer gone?
It went fast this year, it seems.
All the days of summer fun
Will soon just all be dreams.

I look forward to the season change,
When the air gets crisp and cool,
And oh, the peace and quiet,
Now that kids are back in school.

I love to hear the Katie-dids
As they chirp their songs of woe,
And oh, I see locus shells
Everywhere I go.

All too soon, it won’t be long,
The trees will all be bare.
Then comes that time of year,
There’ll be white stuff everywhere.

I look upon each season change
Just like differences in my friends.
Like each season through the year,
They bring blessings without end.
