Seasons Change, by Hannah Jaffe


When autumn changes to winter,
and Christmas season is near,
wandering close winter,
is lovely time here, yet?
Yes, the lovely season is here.

Heavenly breezes blow,
leaves that lasted fall,
the sun is coming from the south,
butterflies migrate and grass wilts.
That is the lovely season,
but, how does autumn turn to winter?

"The season changes because of me," says God.
"It is me that makes the earth change by season.
I order autumn to change to winter."

"I make the heavenly breezes you know.
It is I that make leaves that lasted fall,
I make the sun come in through the south,
I make butterflies migrate south.
Do you not understand that I make the seasons change?"
