=Seasons =

Hear the beating sun upon the gravel the ripple of the water uncovered in the wavered blue, the children travel the ending of spring has been discovered

Flowers speak of their greatest seasons end when all they know is only what they’ve seen, not experiencing to what they tend They will not have known what they could have been

The wind is stilled by the coming of the heat All around us, the air has become thick beginnings are perfect when seasons meet it has come again, this isn’t a trick

With all this great revel on these hot days The children are free as long as it stays
