Seasons Of Life Poem by Philip Vincent Sanders

The seasons change our moods within ourselves
Sometimes we are so open … then withheld
The summer sings within our brightest days …
But winter can distil such darkened days

We seek to understand our life on earth
And sometimes question how much we are worth …
But living life as fully as we may …
Will leave us feeling bright in all we say

It is not always possible to smile
The knocks will sometimes slow us for a while …
But if we seek the beauty nature shows…
We will recover from those ghastly blows

To see the shimmering sea in summer’s haze
To feel the re-awakening of spring’s days …
To watch kaleidoscopic leaves of fall
To revel in the snow of winter’s squall

Relive your life with memories so sweet
Enjoy the pleasures that will make you feel replete
Thank God you see and feel and taste …..
For life should never be a waste
