Seasons Come, Seasons Go

Just believe

the spring will come

and the warmth

will cheer everyone.

All these months

of cold and wet

do seem endless

and yet,

we know the seasons

come, then go,

so, we must believe

there are many days

when goodness will bring

the joys of Spring.

The rain soaks deep

into the soil

and helps the earthworms

with their toil,

we know

there are better days

coming soon

to amaze us

with the colour of spring,

and birds will sing

as will our hearts,

so everyday rolls along

to give us tolerance

to adapt

and trust to know

‘this too will pass’

and best we live

with open hearts.

Yes, gratitude for Nature’s ways

and all the amazing

and changing displays

of green and gold

and red and blue

and sunshine’s glow

is coming too.
