Seasons
I want a love like the seasons
Just as you get comfortable
Things change up on you
And then when you start to get comfortable again
It changes over and over
But one thing is for sure
You always know what you have
Winter, spring, summer, and fall
Sometimes I’m cold and frigid
But if you can wait out the winter storm
I’ll always thaw out
like the ground in the spring
until we burn as bright as the sun
on a summer afternoon
give me a love like this
and I’ll fall for you
as sure as the seasons change

Colleen Kithcart Poem
The Young and the Anxious
We are a new youth in an old world
We are constantly told to calm down
We are constantly told to relax
Told of times “back in my day”
From an older generation who knows nothing
Of the conflicts we face in the present
I’m here to tell you that we will not settle
We WILL NOT let this world tell us we aren’t enough
And we certainly will not, ing back down
You can keep your Xanax, Ativan and your Zoloft
That you give out like candy on Halloween
You tell us we are broken when we are only healing
Wounds left open by former generations
Instead of your quick fix pills you give
We will pass a joint with hands of change
And as we get the munchies we will snack
On the food of growth and fruitfulness
You tell us we will never make a difference
As you try to hold us back from doing so
But I am here to tell you
The we are the young and the anxious
And we aren’t going away without one hell of a fight
