Seasons of Change

Seasons of Change

A sea of swaying colors blankets the earth
And spreads..a festive bountiful bouquet
Offering up nature’s purest sweet births
To cleanse the land with its glorious array

The skies turn azure to compete with the sea
Whose sapphire shimmer boasts cool retreat
From smoldering rays that dance heatedly
To awake cricket chirp nearby barren feet

Crispy paints now tumble in crimson red hues
To flutter beneath so loose and carefree
For ageless delight and stomps from some shoes
With wingless flight to land in a pile of glee

But soon frosty breaths drift to the dusky skies
And night reveals her brisk shimmering pearls
Barren limbs now adorn soft white disguise
With marveling youth enchanted by this world

These are the seasons we live through every year
Resplendent, glorious each in its own rite
But do we remember the ones who are dear
Our own little wonders who hunger at night

Their wonderous eyes behold all of these sights
And marvel at the mystery that comes with change
But how can they remain sweet and free of plight
When their empty tummies growl in yearning pain

Have we forgotten our own little treasures
Who look to us for every trusting need
We need a season of change for better endeavors
To nurture all of our precious growing seeds

So let us create the change in the seasons
And care for God’s children as gatekeepers would
Then with satisfied tummies and no more poor reasons
Our children will grow happy and strong like they should
