The Seasons Of My Life 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 Springtime 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 some kind of summersault We tumble to maturity as if it’s by default 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 the future and we start to wonder why Everything looks different once 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, as we overcome the strife 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 up there above the ground I only hope I caused more smiles, then I did cause frowns Richy |

I'm really sorry about the search link on the word "flowers." For some reason my dang puter has been doing that for certain words lately... If anyone knows how to get rid of this, I would sure appreciate your help. Thank You! Arrrgh.. lol |

"Just know that I enjoyed my stay up there above the ground I only hope I caused more smiles, then I did cause frowns" From the look on your smiling face here and the kind responses you give to your fellow writers at PiP...I know you cause a lot more smiles than frowns m'friend. Wonderful piece here Richy! ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ ~ Is that love I see in your eyes... |

 (big angel hugs) Oh Richy, you made me cry with this most beautiful song of your heart, but you didn't make me cry in sadness, but in joy knowing and blessed to have you as a friend in my heart who is sensitive and sweet and holds all the seasons and their blessings true to heart, I cry with a smile on my face! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, you certainly make the smiles outnumber the frowns by a landslide, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Ice ~ Thank You Ice. You know what? I think it’s only showing up on my computer. Lucky me huh... lol Susan ~ I hope the rocking didn’t make you seasick or anything... lol Seriously, Thanks a bunch Susan! Nancy ~ Thank You so much Nancy, I really appreciate that! You know if it gets too bad, I could always start walking on my hands... then if I upset someone, it would look like they were smiling... well, it sounded good when I first thought of it?  Noah ~ To be considered a friend of yours, would be an honor for anybody, especially me. Your one in a billion Noah! Thank You, for always being there. Seymour ~ It’s always an honor to receive a kind remark from a real gentleman. Thank you for that Seymour. Dawn ~ How nice to be responsible for one of those pretty smiles of yours. Thank You Dawn, and I’m glad you liked it! Bluesey ~ Oh Bluesy, thanks so much for that. You really are the best! A big hug for you too. Dixie ~ That is so nice of you to say that Dixie, Thank You! Hey, and even if your coworkers use it for their darts, thanks again for saying that. That really made me smile. |

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 If we're incredibly lucky, this is a time for any season. *S* I like this very much, Richy... |
