 Brought forth during the splendor when the flowers burst as one Under blue sky mornings as we’re nurtured by the sun The nourishment of spring time bode the early days so well The thawing of the past approaching, creeks begin to swell We flourish in the meadow with the grasses flowing sweet The spring of youth is waning as we wither in the heat We spring into the future in a kind of summersault We tumble to maturity by all things we we’re taught Fairer times behind us this is our place in the sun It’s time to make some changes before all is said and done We look into tomorrow and we start to wonder why The view is so much different since the innocence has died The days are getting cooler and we’re almost half way there We’re holding hands much tighter as we both are more aware With every leaf the seconds click as time is drawing near Gentle breezes whispering the falling of the year So suddenly we’re ushered to the autumn of our life The days are getting shorter but the passion’s still alive Another generation is now holder of the torch We spend our time with grandkids slowly rocking on the porch We look into each other’s eyes and utter not a word We share a love that goes beyond all things that can be heard We hug for one last time in an embrace that never ends The sun breaks through the darkness as finality impends When then my final winter comes and I no longer am When all the water from the thaw has broken through the dam Just know that I enjoyed my stay with you above the ground I only hope I caused more smiles, then I did cause frowns Freedom of expression is our, write. |

I am sure you know that you caused many, many Pip smiles and, to the best of my knowledge, no frowns! Loved your poem and the walk through the seasons of your life. - Owl |

One of the sweetest, sentimental expressions of the seasons of one's life, that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I was especially touched by the following lines ~ "We look into each other’s eyes and utter not a word We share a love that goes beyond all things that can be heard We hug for one last time in an embrace that never ends The sun breaks through the darkness as finality impends" I'm literally all choked up. I understand and have known of such love. When your final season does truly come, may it be as full of grace as you yourself are.   Linda |
