Notes About The Poem

Seasonal Inspiration


This year is winding down so fast-
      seems yesterday was spring;
            so many days have quickly passed.

            Now autumn sets a stunning sight,
      as trees bear crimson leaves;
in vibrant scenes, we find delight.

Before we know, snowflakes will fall-
      for winter stands in line.
            When done, another spring will call.

            No matter how we live our days
      time passing fast or slow-
the course of seasons never sways.

As nature promises, makes clear
      and never lets us down;
            four cycles done- begins new year

            And, as we age, to hope we cling,
      that when 'our winter' ends-
reborn we'll be- in Heaven's spring.
