Seasons Come and Go

The ice is melting drip by drip
The chilling wind is dying down
The ice around the window sill 
Melting slowly and going aground

I sat quietly by the fire side 
And watch as winter declines
It won’t be long till springtime 
When the sun will start to shine

The sun will bring new life
And the rains will make it grow
Beauty will abound once more
From the seeds that have been sown

 The grass turns green again
And really starts to grow
Soon it will need a trim
And we know it is time to mow
 
I remember youthful summer days
We would play, fish and swim
Life was so much fun when younger
We were really happy way back then

Now the ice is freezing drip by drip
Winter is coming and bringing snow
And there is ice around the window sill
And the chilling wind is beginning to blow.

Very well stated Connie! - seasons come and go and the circumstances in our lives change. This reminds us to cherish the time we have and the people in our lives before 'winter comes'. You've said it best.
