Time Passing By

Time passes by

Winter passes into spring
The snowy banks will pass
The daffodils will spring again
The cold shall slowly subside
As robin’s song chirps nearby
and romance flies with butterflies

Spring mild ways will soon give way
To Summer’s fiery grasp
The nights of lightning bugs
Of Whip-poor-wills came back
Long days of play and heat
Of family and front porch chats
School starts up again

The heat wave fades away
Chill mornings dawn foggy
Apples grow red and ruddy
Harvest is put away
The cool air grows cold and bright
And the world readies itself
For Winter to come again.
