Half of the Year

Warm hot chocolate kisses
Marshmallow mustaches
Blankets warmed by the indoor fire
Wrapped in homemade blankets
Drifting off into dreams

Candy kisses passed from hand to hand
Heartfelt notes left in places to be found
Secretive glances from love to love
Shared warm drinks next to a dying fire
Promises of childish, puppy love for ever

Drunken banter between friends
Green everywhere from head to toe
Traditional dinners and drinks to be had
Deep laughter from makeshift dialects
The party doesn't end at dawn

April Showers bring May flowers
At least, that is how the saying goes
With little flowers peeking through untrimmed grass
Fresh puddles being danced and trekked through
Little babies of all kinds breathing in the fresh air

School lets out and the children give a cheer
Camp begins and continues in full swing
Mothers and fathers forget how energetic children are
Teachers breathe in their fresh summer air
And quietly plan out the next school year

Fireworks popping in the night air
Children screaming with delight
Parents and friends clinking summer time drinks
Sleeping under the stars and night sky
Blessing the time to spend with family and friends

Hot cider tickling senses
The smell of apples twirling in the air
Students and teachers returning to the classroom
Parents breathing a sigh of relief
And taking naps while the children are gone

Trick or Treat is what the children say
Running here and there in the crisp fall air
Trading candies for turkey and the nights become cooler
Bundled feet and mittened fingers
Prepare for the next season ahead

Sweet messages are passed from friend to friend
Nipping winds are trapped outdoors
And become a memory when noses become busy smelling cookies
Evergreen fill the air combined with mistletoe
That are are greeted with a lovers kiss upon every meeting
