Seasons of My Life

No time to rearrange As the seasons start to change Our die has not been cast We can alter where we go We can change a river's flow But we cannot change our past In the spring the world was bright As I journeyed into night It was a time for learning And from what I can recall I thought I knew it all In my soul a constant burning As spring turned into summer The sound of a different drummer Made me believe that all was lost I was running like a deer Knew neither common sense nor fear Never contemplated cost The autumn of my years Began with bitter tears And a time for much reflection It was then that I could see The world was not all about me And I began to change direction I feel my heart palpitating And I live anticipating New challenges to face True wealth comes from sharing True happiness from caring It makes the world a better place,
