Throughout the year the seagulls
as seasons come and go
are always out there for me
be it sunshine, rain or snow
In the winter and the autumn
In the Springtime when it’s green
In the summer when it’s nice and warm
There are seagulls I’ll have seen
Always out there flying
or swooping ‘cross the sea
I’m so glad I have the seagulls
as they’re part of life for me

December comes and tradition
sees the tree go up tonight
Decorations hanging all around
‘most everywhere in sight
For us it sees a birthday
Holly’s twenty-five this year
and sharing it with Christmas
always brings us all good cheer
So here’s a berry-red reminder
at the last month’s curtain call
Another year to pass us by
Seasons greetings to you all

In May there is green
as we walk on these hills
and breathe in the air
as a cure for all ills
In August there’s ochre
as the harvest grows ripe
and these hills bring a smile
from the grumble and gripe
In December there’s white
and the snow on these hills
serves as reminder
that this is Sussex still

In Spring light glistens
Fresh with the joy of new life
It leaps and bounds
In Summer light is
Simply and completely full
At one with the sun
In Autumn light fades
Lacklustre with long shadows
Evening of the year
In Winter light shines
Dancing on the brittle earth
It looks to the Spring

This time of day it changes
at each different time of year
Certain little nuances
as morning time draws near
In winter it is brittle
with a chill upon the air
And this time you’ll find me wrapped up warm
with coats and jumpers there
In springtime it is fragrant
with a promise born of old
Summer’s child lies waiting
to bring respite from the cold
In summertime it’s warming
Windows open to the air
To find me in my element
with sunshine here to share
And in autumn it is whimsy
Halcyon memories are here
To remind me that the passing
of this time is drawing near
This time of day it changes
but the thought remains the same
Knowing that the circle
will repeat this time again

Winter clung fast
to April’s last day
with rain and strong winds
to greet first of May
Yet there is still time
for the sunshine to come
with promise of summer
born of the sun

A little yellow’s what I need
Springtime needs to be here now
Winter’s overstayed its welcome
time to leave and take a bow
Sunshine with its warmer feeling
needed more than I can say
Come as precursor to summer
Welcome now and with us stay
