The Time Between Seasons

I stand here now- the winter of my life, amazed how fast its seasons quickly flew- recall how younger days were free from strife; in open fields, I ran neath skies of blue. The time between life's changing seasons- is modified by deeper reasons. Then, one fine day, real love swept me away with roots soon planted deep inside my heart; presented joys of motherhood's bouquet that blossomed in the spring of my life chart. The time between life's changing seasons- is modified by deeper reasons. When summer brought a lush and fuller time, another generation came to be. Fruit of my fruit, with each, came joy sublime; so thankful still- how life had gifted me! The time between life's changing seasons- is modified by deeper reasons. Soon, Autumn found me in the golden sun of harvest time to reap more fulfilled days, with new creativeness- more time for fun- relaxing with the gifts of its bright phase. The time between life's changing seasons- is modified by deeper reasons. I stand here now- my winter days are here. Though firm, I stay and ponder the next stage- for winter's fickle; when she leaves- unclear. But, until then, with life, I will engage!
