Every evening sky, an invitation, To trace the patterned stars

And early in July, a celebration, For freedom that is ours

And I notice You, In children’s games, In those who watch them from the shade

Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder, You are summer

And even when the trees have just surrendered, To the harvest time

Forfeiting their leaves in late September, And sending us inside

Still I notice You, when change begins, And I am braced for colder winds

I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come, You are autumn

And everything in time and under heaven, Finally falls asleep

Wrapped in blankets white, all creation, Shivers underneath

And still I notice you, When branches crack, And in my breath on frosted glass

Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter, You are winter

And everything that’s new has bravely surfaced, Teaching us to breathe

What was frozen through is newly purposed, Turning all things green

So it is with You, And how You make me new, With every season’s change

And so it will be, As You are re-creating me, Summer, autumn, winter, spring
