Give Me Spring,Don'T Give Me Fall

Do not slip away.There are still tomorrows to follow Still stories to tell,Photographs to be taken More cakes to share,Candles to blow Walks in the meadows, Strolls along Summer shores. Hold on , Hold on , Be strong ! Helplessly I turn to God, I Pray to the one... The one I hug and fight my battles with The one I love , hate , love ,ignore and adore . ' Do not give me chrysanthemums, dear Lord Nor bless my land with cypress trees Do not let widow sparrows rest on mother's window sill Nor let our spirits wear their silent wings. Don't let me hear the sound of mourning bells Give him life, and give me joy Give him hope, and give me laughter Give us petals, velveteen petals that keep on blooming Give me Spring ,Don' t give me Fall.'

Spring until summer turns the sky to silk again and then the autumn turns the leaves in all the trees to gold.And every season can be rich in love and fulfilling to the soul. And the heart that wrote this lovely poem,is a heart that was created for all seasons,was it not. Loved your poem Charmaine;always more light Thalia

Goose bumps girlie! I love both, Spring likewise Fall...Autumn! I feel so selfish, ourn earth uses much of those other long seasons; that scorching Summer and pinching Winter to restore the pretty we all adore with Spring and fall...Autumn! Lovely my dear poet....have a thinking week Charmaine...much love, james
