Grand Seasons


Seasons come and seasons go
We keep growing more and more
It is a cycle we have learnt to love
We wait eagerly for nature's trove....

Spring is the best of them all
So say poets and people across the mall
You don't need those woolens and shawls
Nor a raincoat or heavy overalls....

Summer has its very own charm
Health is good and we keep warm
Outdoor or indoor, it is pleasant
The sun shone is God's statement....

Winter is all pristine beauty
Snow and flake and icy party
Evergreens hold up with dignity
Christmas sees us all cheery....

Autumn reminds us of a practical life
All beautiful things have to strive
It is only when the old leaves shed
It makes way for the new through bred....

Every season has a role to play
They bear, nurture and have their say
The earth has stood its test of time
With dignity it is always in its prime....

We humans too have a lesson to learn
Come what may, why not smile and have fun....

The title of the poem is the name of a lovely hotel in Kuala Lampur....Ever since I was there, I wanted to write a poem on seasons but never got myself to do it until now........
