WHAT THE YEAR WILL BRING

By Joy Nelkin Wieder



Dark nights and star shine,
Days quickly fading,
Fires ablaze.

Snowballs and bobsleds,
Icicles hanging,
Winter flurries.



Gray clouds bring rain drops,
Buds bursting open,
Flowers in bloom.

The smell of damp earth,
Umbrellas twirling,
Springtime showers.

 

Hot days for swimming,
Lingering daylight,
Fireflies glow.

Family vacation,
Building sandcastles,
Summer sunshine.

 

Backpacks and lunch bags,
Bright yellow buses,
School bells a-ring.

Jackets for crisp winds, 
Jumping in leaf piles,
Autumn colors
