Change of Season
When the season starts to change
And temperature is falling,
Animals all know
Soon there will be snow.
It is time to go.
A warmer place is calling.
In winter, many animals
Just seem to disappear.
Some go hibernate.
Some, like ducks, migrate.
But if we just wait,
They’ll all be back next year.
