Winter

When the Seasons Come

When the Spring comes,
God, you help me grow.
The word you planted in me
shows brightly in all its colors.

When the Summer comes,
you cool my feet
in your river of life.
You give me rest
under a canopy of trees.

When the Fall comes,
you nourish me
with your bounty of blessings.
You make me strong and whole.

When the Winter comes,
your house shields me
from the storm.
And your love
keeps me warm
and safe.

You have prepared Lord,
for all our needs,
no matter the challenge,
so that we may weather…
every season.

Safe Seasons

Winter is chill
and you can catch your death
of cold.
Spring can bounce you in directions
too bold.
Summer’s so hot, it isn’t funny
at all.
But mess with Autumn, and you’re in
for a Fall.
