In Spring I Dreamed of Summer's Sun

Rhyming poem

In spring I dreamed of summer's sun,
And all the things that I'd get done.

In summer I did dream of fall,
And lovely times we would have all.

In fall I dreamed of winter's due,
When rest and travel would come true.

And now that winter's finally here,
I dream of all the wasted years.

I dream of times we should have shared,
When all were still alive who cared.

I dreamed away my life it seems,
Instead of living it, I dreamed.

Longed for tomorrow every day,
And now I long for yesterday.

I wish I'd lived each day awake,
Left precious moments in my wake.

But wisdom comes too late I fear,
Too many dreams and wasted years.

A lesson in why we should live in the now rather than the future or the past. A trip through the seasons of dreaming. Lovely couplers and poetic expression. A most enjoyable read.
