Seasons, Seasons, Seasons We shiver, shiver, shiver, In the cold, cold winter. I will play with my sister, And get presents from dear old Santa. It rains, rains, rains, In the warm, warm spring. Lovely flowers bloom. The birds in the trees sing. We see swimmers, swimmers, swimmers, In the hot, hot summer. People visit the great Buddha, And take photos with a camera. The leaves have fallen, fallen, fallen, In the cool cool autumn. Beautiful kites are flown, And brown leaves are thrown. by Carla Siobhan Yeung Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School
Fortune Wearing torn and shabby clothes, Suffering from starvation and poverty, Eyes with sorrow and sadness, Living in desperation and bleakness. Beyond them was a miserable fate, Without a ray of hope, Prosperity and Peace fled away, Abandoning their livelihood. They ought to have their memories, Complete with their families. They should have had their own dream, And bring alive what they may mean. They are suffering. We are enjoying. Why? Fortune is the only answer. by Cindy Can Sin Yi Good Hope School
