\nall the seasons,
\ndelighting in each one
\nas they pause only briefly
\nand just long enough
\nto infuse my heart
\nand my imagination
\nin their yearly revolution
\none by one;
\neach year a bit shorter,
\nit seems,
\nthan the one before.
\nBut each has become
\nso much a part
\nof who I am
\nand who I will become.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nstill feels the grass
\nbetween my toes,
\nas the sunshine overhead
\ncontinuing to warm
\nmy heart and soul.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nwatches the trees shed
\ntheir exquisite mantle
\nof gold and red,
\nleaves falling to the ground
\nas we waltz together
\ntoward winter\u2019s bitter cold.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
\nrecalls those snowy days,
\nso distant now,
\nso far away
\nthose crystalline flakes
\nas they floated down,
\nlanding on eyelashes
\nof yesterday,
\ntrees just resting
\nwhere they stand,
\nuntil springtime showers
\nbring new life again
\nto all of Nature
\nand to this child of spring
\nand each of the seasons
\nas they pass by
\none by one.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n
