Live Each Season as It Passes

When spring arrives with promise of new life,
Green rosebud sprouts abound on each young stem;
An infant child amuses man and wife
As cradle rocks, delighting both of them.

The blooms attract the busy bumblebee
To pollinate in summer’s broiling heat.
While children play their games in ecstasy,
They’re building muscles for their future feats.

Maturing fruits provide an autumn feast
As leaves imbue their shades of red and gold.
Adults are guiding their young with increased
Attentiveness before they leave the fold.

The winter frost now coats the scene in white
As wildlife seeks its food on frozen ground.
The elders whisper wisdom to ignite
The brilliant sparks of marvel all around.

As with the passing seasons of Nature,
Our lives go through phases of adventure.
