seasons


as the weather
has seasons
so do love and life
my seasons of love
have been many
repeating like the weather
as for life
my spring is long gone
some have told me i could be in my summer
tho i know i am in my fall
and have been dangerously close to winter.

The seasons do follow each other closely and sometimes it is hard to tell which is which.  love, Joyce

a wistful little piece. I try never to look back. Might be something awful right behind me...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

my once upon a time...fills me with some peace to know that your memories of our time together are not all bad. think that in just a short time and a lot of help, i have that dangerously close winter pushed back for some time to come. Dad is wonderful in His work.

pegasus...i can always count on you to give me very good and wise advise. just a few short months ago winter was dangerously close, and looked back to see how close it was often because i wanted it that way. today however, i have, with a lot of help, decided that looking back was too frightening and keep my eyes looking forward to see just what each new day will bring. i always love getting comments from you because you always have something wise to say. Thank you

Betty my dear you are too kind. i just turned 50 this year and have really had a bad case of the old gray mare blues syndrome with this one. i don't feel half a century old, and my kids tell me i certainly don't act like i'm a half century old. this was written at a major turning point in my life, and seemed that the seasons were crowding in on me and i let some of them get way too close way before their time. Thank you so much for the compliment.

oh yes Dawn, i keep spring and summer very much near me these days, and my heart will always be filled with spring and summer. the fall isn't so bad either, and don't intend to let winter get too close again. Thank you for commenting

Excellent tone and closure. Brava!

thank you italy angel...the meanings to this write are many and different to just about every one who reads it but for me it was a turning point and almost didn't make the turn in the right direction. thank goodness i did because marvelous revelataions have come to me by not giving up
