There are my Mother's sisters
Winter, Summer, and Fall
But Spring is the one
I cherish most of all
But first let me tell you
About the other three
Without knowing them
Spring's wonder you'd never see.
I will start with Summer
Her sun so hot and high
Without my brother Rain
My people would surely die
Autumn is the artist
Reds, oranges, and browns
Painting all the leaves
Before they hit the ground
Winter is the frigid one
So often misunderstood
Most see her faults
Rarely her traits of good
Without Fall and Winter
And the silent death they bring
We'd miss all the wonder
Of their sister Spring
Her love brings rebirth
To a world filled with strife
Bringing a new beginning
In the Circle of Life
Cloud Dancing

Walk in Peace
