Seasons of Life

Seasons of Life
by Cheryl Campbell

It was during the springtime of her life
When she met the man who would make her his wife
Love would blossom like the season's debut
And many times they would say "I Love You"

The years passed quickly, they shared heartache and more
The decay from their winters in wrinkles they wore
Children raised and married, offered the best gift on earth
The arrival of grandchildren gave them rebirth

Although they were old, their hearts could still sing
For deep down inside, lay the promise of spring
