Springtime is here! Springtime is here!
Snowstorms are gone and flowers appear.
Summer is here! Summer is here!
The days are much warmer and rainbows appear.
Autumn is here! Autumn is here!
Red, gold, and brown leaves and pumpkins appear.
Winter is here! Winter is here!
The days are much shorter and snowflakes appear.
Brave the harsh weather, don’t be afraid,
the end of the year God also has made.
For beautiful Springtime will be back, and then
new joys and new life will rise up again!
Anthony DeStefano has woven a timeless story of faith and fortitude with gentle joy that people of all ages will love reading.
