First old man winter comes to us wearing a great coat of white <br /> He brings with him ice and cold and blizzards in the night <br /> <br /> We are all taken back by his cold storms of snow <br /> And so very soon we are praying for him to go <br /> <br /> Next spring dances in with her green coat laced with flowers <br /> And we welcome her by embracing all the scents that she showers <br /> <br /> As she begins to get warmer we realize she can not stay <br /> But she reminds us she has been here all of April and May <br /> <br /> It is a hot muggy day when Miss Summer finally arrives <br /> And we are sure we want her to stay the rest of our lives <br /> <br /> We enjoy the sun and fun but we complain about her humid air <br /> And when she is ready to leave in August we think it is unfair <br /> <br /> Now as God's paint brush colors the way in for Mr. Fall <br /> We enjoy the crisp air as we look at the colors in awe <br /> <br /> The leaves float away as Mr. Fall tells us he must go <br /> But he is sure that our next visitor will take over the show <br /> <br /> So you see God has given us the very best reasons <br /> To welcome our visitors season by season<br /><br />Nancy A.
