Seasons of Life

When I was a child, I played and I romped
Went to school, did things kids do
I was a tomboy, played cowboys and such
This season of life, I loved so much

When I became a pre-teen, things changed for me
Somestimes life isn’t fair, you see
There were hard lessons to learn, its true 
I found I was going to be hurt in this world
This season of life was hard on this girl

Then I grew to be a young lady of sixteen
I met the man of my dreams, he is the one God gave to me
He asked me to marry, and this I did
This season of life was a really good thing

Then we had three sons, each a year apart
This thrilled my soul right from the start
I wanted to be the mother they need
This season of life was scary to me

As I grew older and the years flew by
I knew something was missing in this life of mine
I had all I needed, or so I thought
In this season of life, I learned I was lost
And I learned that freedom came with a cost

My Savior died on the cross for me 
He forgave my sins and set me free
He made me a new creature, and so you see
This of life is eternal for me!
