Seasons of Life

Our lives are like the changing seasons

The Seasons Of Life
Life is like gossamer wings
So fragile, so fleeting, So quick the passing of all things.

With a joyful heart we remember our youth and its day
With never a thought it would all too soon pass away.

In the Spring of our life each day was a wonder to behold
We loved,we laughed,we grew still with never a thought someday we would grow old.

Then came the summer of our life,we set aside youthful things
We worked, married,started families,we shared all the wonderful thoughts of things we were sure life would bring.

We taught our children about God,Family and Country
We taught them about the price paid for freedom,nothing is free.

In the twinking of an eye,the summer of our life became Fall
Loved ones began to pass away,so hard to accept,they were with us only yesterday.

With only memories of loved ones we knew so well,I know they are Happy and with God
but at times the tears still begin to swell.

Now,in the Winter of my life,I realize that time will march on for all,it is certain and true
Unlike the days of my youth,I know now my days have become so few.

I can only hope when my Winter comes to its end,God will welcome me with open arms and
say welcome home my son,a life well lived and a job well done.
