The Four Seasons

In early spring when love is new
And hearts are light and troubles few,
We see the world in quick review
And dream of all we've yet to do.

The summertime is meant for play.
Sun and fun fill every day.
Worries can't get in the way
And rules are meant to disobey.

Autumn's harvest comes and goes.
Dawn to dusk the burden grows.
Where it may lead us, no one knows.
Still the labor is a rose.

A rose that stands the winter chill
To bloom defiantly until
The bitter winter winds are still
And peaks of snow dance on the hill.

Seasons come and seasons go
And who are we to think we know.
But love survives each bitter blow
From springtime bloom to winter snow.
