seasons

we are told that life occurs in the span of a season 

and that these happenings ensue for a reason

but it is hard to accept this statement’s truth

when our life’s tree always seems to be pulled uproot

maybe we need to shift our paradigm

and realize that seasons change all the time

while it is true that there will be trying moments

there are also so many beautiful components

for snowflakes can seem frigid and way too delicate

but they are also elegant and unique and intricate

after all, when snow gently falls on a Winter’s day

life is full of beaming smiles and worries carried away

and pollen may make us itch and scratch and sneeze

but the life and beauty it gives is carried on the breeze

after all, when Spring flowers appear in full bloom

the world around them can feel no gloom

and we may exhaust quickly of heat, sweat, and burns

but we come back to life as the warmth returns

after all, as the Summer sun’s beams dance on water

laughter and glee abound and our hearts grow fonder

and leaves may drop, leaving trees bare

but there is nothing quite like the cool, crisp air

after all, as the colors change, marking it Autumn

we love on our people, feeling thankful we’ve got them

when learning to view seasons from a new perspective

we can start to take a breath when life gets so hectic

perhaps seasons are not marked by hardships at all;

perhaps seasons are marked by growth of the soul
