Seasons

 

We have been through some dark, cold winters

Filled with tragic loss, so painful and bitter

Where time is frozen in frost and filled with infinite fog

Times of drought and empty bank accounts

 

The season has changed

 

Spring has brought new beginnings, with rain and life-giving sunshine

New toys; fruit of the vine

The daffodils are blooming, summer holidays are looming

The sunshine and warmth feels endless

Bursting with hope of a future filled with happiness

The milk vat is full and the cell count is low

The grass is growing, the creek is flowing and the cod are biting

 

The season has changed

 

The sheep are being shorn

A new ring is being worn

No time to be forlorn

The dark days are long gone

 

The hot, dry summer is eminent

Reminding us, the good times may not be permanent

So we sow seeds of hope, as another chapter closes

We never know when winter may strike again with its frosty finger

We harvest the joy of this season of spring

Cherish the fruit it brings

The season is bound to change

Like the setting of the sun each day

May this spring last longer, make us stronger

To sustain us through the next exciting chapter

Bring us warmth during our next wild winter

 

The season has changed

 

Fortunately, we remember to surrender

To new seasons, new reasons to rejoice

The seasons of life have a cycle

We have little control or choice

Embrace what we have, the gifts we had

Remembering in the good times and bad

Simply to surrender

 Fortunately, we always endure or enjoy together
