The joyful colours of summer
Blossom on every bush, in each flower
Which basks under the warm yellow sun.

In brown and amber autumn,
Dry leaves crunch and crackle underfoot.
We thank You for our harvest.

Monochrome winter bares the branches of the trees
Which stand, patient, through the dark days
Knowing the Wheel will turn once more.

Leafy green Spring ; the mewling sounds
Of new life brought into this world –
Ever changing, ever growing, ever renewing.

The joyful colours of summer
Blaze from every busy, in each flower
Which turns its head to the sun.
