Seasons of Life

Up you wake from your winter sleep,
As from under the snow spring flowers peep!

While colorful butterflies flit and fly,
The sun glows brightly in the summer sky.

The days grow shorter as the leaves turn to gold,
Oh, the splendor of autumn is a sight to behold!

Now back to restful sleep you must go,
To slumber and dream 'neath winter's blanket of snow.

Cycles and spirals, around they spin,
The seasons of life ever renew and begin...
