Winter of life
In the warmth of the afternoon Sun
And the chill in the air
I look at the green
And wonder about those not here
The menagerie of movement
That I saw in the spring, summer and fall
Is not vibrant no more
For the lack of outstanding invitations or call
In the season of winter
There is a little sadness after all
Most everybody is regenerating
For spring, summer and fall
There is no reason for dismay, my friends
For like cycles in seasons, are cycles in life
While some moments are trying,
Most are full of promise and smiles.
It is easier to bear, the winter of life
Knowing no matter how hollow
The blooms of happiness
Will soon follow
So learn from the nature
Take it, a moment at a time
Don\'t be disheartened
Know that soon you shall shine.
