The Season's Magic

Sunshine, beaches, hats and sunnies
Ice-cream, swimming and the holidays
Surfing, sun tans, relaxing in the shade
Icy mango smoothies and the Summer Festival begins.

Flowers and animal babies are born
The magic of newness sweeps through the town
Cicadas, grasshoppers, spiders and ladybugs
Tell me Spring cleaning is done?

The wind brisks away the leaves of the trees
Hues of yellow, orange, red and green
Shorter days, pleasant breeze
And the beautiful Autumn scenery

All rugged up against the blistery weather
Huddled up on the couches together
But the snow sports, Coco and hugs galore
Brings the magic upon the hellish Winter cold
