Seasons in Time

"Life is full of happiness and tears. Be strong and have faith."

Kareen Kaphore Khan

SEASONS IN TIME

Arriving to build condos in the trees

Living, swaying in the smooth spring breeze

The birds have arrived to have their young

It is then a life's new chapter has begun

Children clinging to a string

Of floating kites among the birds that sing

No more hats and gloves for quite some time

Remember when ice cream cones were just a dime?

Schools release the anxious youth

Of summer hours they make good use

Sunny beaches and slippery slides

You won't find the adventurous children inside

Comes the fall and school bells ring

What awesome colors that autumn brings!

The leaves, they fall in silent surrender

Touching the earth so crisp and tender

Children in new duds reclaim their status

After a too short summer hiatus

Football fields glow brightly on Friday nights

New school crushes will soon ignite

Now the winter wind will blow

And coat the earth with soft, white snow

Holidays bring joy to cold winter blues

The bears are smart to hide and snooze

So is life each year we find

Another piece of us left behind

And through the years we are counting down

Tomorrow a loved one won't be around

Seasons come and seasons be

Then go before you can count to three

Life is a carnival, life is a sport

And a good life is always much too short
