I am still working on Part 3 of Along the Way, to wrap up my posts on eternity. So, I thought I would put out another post in the meantime. I hope you enjoy the poem!
Seasons of Life
Spring
New life is born
Joy abounds
Happy people
all around
Big boy, big girl
so proud of you
Encouragement
in all I do
Playful spirit
Life is fun
Never a worry
On the run
Growing quickly
Changing fast
Never stopping
Present turns to past
Summer
Growing up
ups and downs
Stuck in between
smiles and frowns
Body changing
mind is too
Understanding
confusing you
Falling in love
just a crush
So much pressure
what’s the rush
Only June now
Forever young
August ending
I’d just begun
Fall
Changing colors
On my own
Lots of people
all alone
Working hard now
Rise to the top
Determination
Never stop
Met my someone
settling down
Trade big city
for small town
Kids are growing
way too fast
Wishing somehow
to travel back
Winter
Wind is howling
Empty nest
Looking back
Did my best
Family growing
Grandkids kissed
Retirement party
Bucket list
Body weakens
mind does too
Time is short
Still much to do
Breathing slowing
Time is near
Take me home, Lord
into your care
