The Seasons of My Life

THE SEASONS OF MY LIFE In the Spring time I was blossoming, The world was bright and new. I learned to laugh annd cry and fight, For what I knew was true. That there`s a time to have your fun, And there`s a time for work, A time when we must learn to earn, And value all life`s perks. In Summer time I learned of life, Of people and the world. I learned that life`s a mixture, Of experience, a whirl, That sometimes life moves way too fast, It should be sipped and savored, Or else it plays out way too soon, And loses all it`s flavor. In Fall I learned acceptance, That what must be will be. It does no good to fuss and fret, `Bout what was denied me; For some it seems are richly blessed, While others get the crumbs, Who gets what is up to God, From Whom all good things come. Now Winter fast approaches, And what`s important now, Is what memories I`ll leave behind, Who remembers me, --- and how. Judy Ball For At This Age Contest by Nette Onclaud
