Seasons of Our Years

There were flowers in the Spring time Growing wild down country lanes And the rain drops flowing freely Running soft down window panes Life was full of expectations We would live it our own way Chasing shadows that we dreamed up As we lived for our todays There was sunshine in the Summer Shining clearly in the sky And the sound of children's laughter Pure contentment in our eyes Love was strong then as it should be We had so much fun to share Nothing mattered except our love Hugs and kisses everywhere Seasons of our years Are filled with joy and tears Dreams and hopes abound As the seasons turn around Then the leaves fell in the Autumn And they scattered on the ground Falling wildly blazing colours And our love then turned around Stripped of foliage unattractive Our lives slowly fell apart And the frosting on the pavement Penetrated to our hearts Footsteps of our lives are all covered now As Winter snow falls heavy like our tears Winters' icy chill has covered up our tracks We've walked on through the seasons of our years Seasons of our years Are filled with joy and tears Dreams and hopes abound As the seasons turn around (c) Jane Shields
