I can see cows grazing on the lush pasture. <br />I can see fields of corn and golden grain, <br />And I can hear a family of ducks quacking <br />In a welcomed and gentle, Summer rain. <br /> <br />Soon, I will see a spectacular change <br />As trees will be adorned with colorful leaves, <br />And a bountiful, golden harvest is <br />Being gathered in a multitude of sheaves. <br /> <br />The lengthening shadows of evening will increase <br />As cool, Autumn days pass swiftly by, <br />The season changing instantly to winter <br />As snowflakes begin to fall from the sky. <br /> <br />I can hear the excited voices of many children <br />In an atmosphere filled with laughter and thrill. <br />I can see them pulling their toboggans and sleds, <br />Awaiting to challenge the snow-covered hill.<br /><br />Joseph T.
