"Seasons"

Seasons

 

Bless the spring that comes each year,
same time to greet our hearts.
Find delight in growth and sun
and seeing fresh new starts. 

But pause in autumn to say goodbye

to those who leave this place.
Cherish fondly those you loved,
with all your soul, embrace.

And break for winter when it comes,

once time to face the cold.
Though often chilled and difficult,
such wonders to behold.

Know that spring will come again

to warm and touch and grow.
Through the seasons of our lives,
all these blessings flow.
