The springtime gales that fill the sails of vessels out at sea
And bring the rain that nourishes the farmlands that is free,
Summer winds that fill the air with odors of faint perfume
The breath of ocean breezes blowing cross a sunlit room,
How wild the call of autumn rolls complete with heavy scents
Of chimneys belching forth the smoke from warm hearthfires intense
The winter storm that carries Mother Natures ice cold sleet
Staccato sounds ring all around like heavy crunching feet,
These are the gifts that God has wrought to bring us happiness
And to our lives has added all the blessings we possess.
We thank you God and go our way believing that we’ll earn
Our daily bread, our prayers are said awaiting our new turn.
