There is a lot I love About spring and summer, The warmth, the freedom From scarves and coats. The flowers in bloom, The outdoor pools, The hot days with ice cream And cold coffee and slurps. But most of I all I love the trees in my city, that sway in the summer wind. And I can stare at them forever As my car passes by. And they are colored not only green But of many more hues pleasant to my eye. There are orange, and purple (my favourite ones), and pink. So when the ground I walk upon Is littered with these colored petals, I feel like nature has a lot of beauty to show But all we do is step on it.
