As The Seasons Pass

To see the sun as it rises high

above the mountains and the trees

brings joy to the heart

that it is so desperate to see;

to see all the children

as they run and play

brings laughter and joy

to a most stressful day;

The songs of the birds

high up in the sky

are letting you know

that springtime is nigh;

As we all wait

for each day to close

the less we will see

the fresh fallen snows;

Springtime is coming

life will be new

the days will be much longer 

with fresh fallen dew;

The trees will all bud

the roses will bloom

and then the suns rays 

will brighten the gloom;

Enjoy the laughter while it is here

for the day will come

when the clouds gather near

and before you know it

the sun will just fade

and it will again

be a cold winter day.
