I wrote a poem and i wanted to know if you have any constructive criticism or anything for me?

The meter is very nice, and the sentiment of the poem is clear, but there's something that puts me off about the second line, 'in summer time without the snow', that makes it seem like you're stretching for a rhyme and meter without making it seem effortless. It makes me wonder if there's a summer time with snow? Or would have have to presume that you've been under the cherry blossoms when there was snow? More information would have to be forthcoming to make that leap of logic. A few lines before that, suggesting there was been a change of seasons.
