It is the fall season
Leafs, wind, and sun surround us.
The world is peace.
Hope spreads around.
Light shines on us.
We hear wind.
We are thrilled by fall.
Fun, cool, and cold surround us.
It is the end of fall season.

We hear wind by peace.
We are thrilled by light.
Snow, ice and slush surround us.
It is the cold season.

It’s the cold season.
Trees, snow, and grass surround us.
The world is big.
Hope spreads a lot.
Light shines here.
We hear people by their drums.
We thrilled by the presence of the drums and the people.
Fish, corn and food surround us.
It is the warm season.

The Sweetest Season
It is the sweetest season.
Friends, family, and history surround us.
The world is filled with joy.
Hope spreads through the trees, with the wind and into our hearts.
Light shines warm and bright.

The War Season
It is the war season
The blood red skies and fire surround us.
The world is frightened but sees a light.
Hope spreads and quiets us down.
Light shines and the fire burns out.
We hear the birds sing again by the hope and peace that brought the
light.
We are thrilled by the way they work together.
Now hope and peace surround us.
It is the hope and peace season.

It is the wet season.
Rain falls and peace surrounds us.
The world is becoming quiet.
Hope spreads going through every crack.

And light will find us and always surrounds us.
It is the peace and hope season.
