There comes a time during the year, when young girls are packing their bags,

to head to another country, to be an Au Pair with their luggage tags.

And when you arrive in the city of love, the one that they call Paris,

the hot French sun kisses your skin, as it shines with its' almighty brightness.

But it's not long until the sun starts to dim, and the leaves begin to fall,

 the trees turn yellow, orange, red, and then there's nothing... nothing at all.

The mornings are getting darker, and the sun has disappeared,

then one morning without notice, the garden turns to white: weird!

The beautiful snow drifts down from the sky, and settles so we can play,

oh how cold it is today! But don't fret, the snow won't stay.

Enjoy it while you can, as the sun is beginning to rise,

the white is turning to green, just a little bit of a surprise.

The birds are starting to sing, and the flowers are in bloom,

oh my goodness it's Spring? Time is really beginning to zoom!

And before you even know it, I'll be on my way home again,

home to see my family and friends, this calls for a prayer amen!
