As Seasons Step Aside
As winter steps aside for spring
And everything is at peace
Flowers bloom and flowers dance
It's beautiful, to say the least
As spring steps aside for summer
And everything gets colored
Purples, pinks, greens, and blues
Now everything is brighter
As summer steps aside for fall
And everything gets muted
All color goes from bright to dull
Now everything is faded
As fall steps aside for winter
And everything gets quiet
Snow has muted every sound
Now everything is silent
The sun will set, the day will end
For now, the end is near
A new day dawns, bright and clear
A perfect day, a brand-new year
