Winter coming into spring

Now it is winter, but soon it will be spring
In January there is 
winter, spring, summer, autumn 
all in one day.

The children go back to school,
and when the snow comes, 
they play snowballs
and when the sun comes out
it warms the children like a spring day.

The children are playing  
and their mothers tell them 
to "come in and go to bed."

Soon it will be spring and then comes summer
and the lighter nights.
The children will play happier
for longer in the summer nights

I think what wonders of the world God has created.
I see the children playing 
and then night comes
and I go to bed and bless
all the children in the world

I think what a wonderful day it has been.
