Last winter we had lots of snow
And our share of rainy days
Our world was cold and damp
But I knew it wouldn’t stay that way
I enjoyed the spring so very much
New buds of leaves and flowers
I didn’t mind at all that we had
The moisture of gentle showers
Summer came on blazing hot
Too hot at times for me
I enjoyed all the green foliage and
Bright flowers and bumblebees
But autumn is here with smells and sights
That make sure our life is not bland
There’s crunchy leaves in brilliant colors
Oh my, isn’t autumn grand?
