Through the Seasons of Life

I was born on a snowy day
not cold at all
in my parents' embrace
as love surrounded me.

 
I walked in the spring
with a bit of chill
but warmed by the beauty burgeoning
as trees dress in green, the air fragranced filled.

 
I walked in the summer
with the sun in my eyes
Tear filled by the joy of nature
as I walked with you by my side.

 
I walked in the fall
with great wisdom
for all that I learned, the value that I know
what remains is the love I feel and own.

 
And the cold gave me the strength to endure
learning to stay warm inside
And the beauty of youth
gave me the dreams that I could fly
Through summer's heat and thunder storms
I learned that love is what makes it all worthwhile
And in the Autumn I felt no fear
For God had carried me all the while.

Beautiful analogy between life's stages and seasons, dear Caroline. I like what you learned from the wisdom of the Fall : And in the Autumn I felt no fear For God had carried me all the while. Just beautiful! Love, iolanda
