The lovely view from my wicker chair
As crows caw spring is here
And wispy clouds parade on blue
Buzzards soar without fear

Scenes so peaceful express
Times filled with much happiness
Winter a diminished thing
Unfulfilled dreams scantiness  

The Star Magnolia's buds swell, wait
Open at a later date
Nature knows what to do when
Love comes and brings its fate

Nature could have locked a door tight
Held it closed for awhile
Given change opportunity
Even closed a turnstile

Events opened the pasture gate
Wide was the gap entered
Washed away the lucious pasture
Hard the red ground rendered

Decisions made in the warm spring
Render fat or its lack
Youth should search for the hightest goals
Winter's cold then won't smack

Many roads or pathways exposed
Once taken closes doors
Another opens for one's good
If evil path ignores

Just a little life review out on the porch..Each time a person chooses a door in their life that door is partially to completely closed behind them but other doors open on down the road..Like if one wants a college education but decides to get married right out of high school then there is a pregnancy, etc..That door to college might be closed forever but then it is possible that it could open again in the future..A person can accomplish much if they set their mind to doing something special with their life..

Time is filled with much happiness. Scenes are very peacefully expressed here. Many pathways are exposed wonderfully. Decisions taken in spring values more. Very thoughtful and excellent expression is shared. ...7
