LIFE, AS I KNOW IT-SHM

Sonnet-Ku-Ku Poetry Contest
Charles Messina

Life, as I know it goes through four seasons.
Fall, when autumn leaves fall, when problems come,
Struggles, obstacles and finding reasons,
Strength, courage to survive, to overcome.
Winter, the time for thorough reflection,
Savoring what had been done and thinking
Things to be done with high circumspection.
Spring, when opportunities are springing.
Learning, mentally growing, transforming.
Summer, season to celebrate, enjoy
Achievements, fulfillments and rewarding
The pinnacle of success with glee, joy.
       Life goes on, AS TIME KEEPS ON A CHANGING, 
       KEEP EVOLVING FOR LIFE IS ENGAGING.

life, as I know it
goes through struggles, obstacles
courage to survive

As time keeps on a changing, keep evolving for life is engaging.
