SEASONS

A cold and bitter winter felt

By those who suffer through

Each passing day the hope abounds

Of springtime and birth anew

When life returns to frozen soil

When trees start budding green

When birds return to fill the skies

And the sunshine can be seen

What hope spring gives to the chilly soul

Who struggles through winter’s blast

Wondering if life will always be cold

And the skies of love overcast

For just as spring restores to life

All that once seemed dead

There’s a light in life which touches us

And beckons us be led

And if we follow full of hope

The path will surely lead

To summer bounty and happiness

Where once we dared not feed

For season follows season

It’s a law of nature known

So also is our path in life

If we’re willing to be shown

Life holds in store for each of us

Something just our own

Enjoy the thrill of discovery

It’s nothing to postpone

So off you go with hope alive

Cherish each day you live

You are a special child of God

And have so much to give
