Child of All Seasons

Diamonds grace her head

Jewels from the sky.

My summer sprite turns to winter princess

Before my very eyes.

Cloaked in powder blue

She is the ice upon the lake.

She is giggles and laughter and candlelit nights,

Snowmen, igloos, and snow cream shakes.

She slides upon the ice

While I struggle to stand still.

She delightfully cries “snow!"

I pull the duvet as far as it will.

Snow boots replace sandals

Wool hats cover pony tails.

Icy winds pull and push and tease

Sending  child and flakes to swirl.

In spring she blooms with flowers

Summer she is butterfly  performing tango with the bees.

Autumn she shimmers in vivid  jewel tones,

Winter brings its own sparkle, like the crystals of icicles and bejeweled trees.

Every season she embraces

This elf that shares my heart.

One with nature

Finding its treasures,

This brilliant star with a passionate spark.
