Seasons of Life

Our lives are like the seasons,
They change as time goes by-
Childhood, youth, mid-life, old age,
Don't question how or why.

Childhood's like the springtime,
Everything's so new-
Time really has no essence,
There's much to learn and do!

Youth are full of vigor,
Like summer, filled with haste-
With fun and games and chores galore,
There's just no time to waste!

Then mid-life slips upon us,
So suddenly, from where?
The kids are gone, where's all the fuss?
This time is hard to bear!

Around the corner comes old age,
As time comes to an end
Upon this earth, our life is o'er,
Eternity waits, my friend!
