Spring of life
Spring of life


In the spring of life when a babe is born
Mother cradles, lifelong love is sworn
Springing forth each year…new changes
Testing boundaries, pleading exchanges
Memories created, replays for the parent
Their love will blossom, this is inherent
The summer of life heats up after spring
A love affair for living this season brings
A hot sweltering sun gives life energy
Powerful the elements, creating synergy
Romantic desires and flames are fueled
Pushing limitations, testing the rules
Seasons change again, and then comes fall
>
Ideals and aspirations, like trees, grow tall
Like the breeze that carries fallen leaves
Gentle on the mind, lessons received
Time to ruminate, on failures and falls
Learning from them, wisdom now calls
The culmination of seasons gives way to winter
Weathered and aged, life now splinters
Reflections of life, from icicles, now hang
Songs of the heart, from once lips, sang
Cherishing thought of seasons gone by
The pain, sorrow, elation, and joyful cries
Love triumphs over heartache and strife
In the changing weather, the seasons of life.
