Spring comes every year but once in your life You are born as fresh as the spring with no strife There are no complications and no stress The world is given to you despite it's mess You'll grow into its unyielding challenging days And learn so much of its unforgiving ways
Summer comes every year, but for you the next faze Before you can blink you're in the teen craze The world needs fixing and you have the tools You will want it all now just like the old fools This time should be a treasure of memories that last Hold on to those days while they are still in your grasp
Fall comes every year but for you it becomes middle age You take the time to look back and reread each page People around you now show a different respect Over the years you try to attain with little suspect Father time is gaining it is puzzling where it went All those moments of life and how they were spent
December comes every year but in life it can be cold It is fidget shock you have become suddenly old Never to be avoided you can only look back It can be satisfying with many a successful track Or a disappointing sequence of stumbling mistakes The Four Seasons of life take us all through its gates
