Life is like a garden of seasonal change
Spring first ushered in by gentle rain
The crocuses, daffodils and tulips abound
While the birds are singing all around

Spring fades to summer slowly
As all the trees regain their green foliage
Hot steamy days and warm muggy nights
Makes for the garden to grow in great strides

With cooler nights and a touch of frost
Fall brings harvest and a bumper of crops
Pumpkins become Jack-O-Lantern faces
And corn fields are turned into unusual mazes

During winter the garden is asleep
Waiting for the first gentle rain it seeks
Snow lies like a blanket keeping the plants warm
Until the return of spring when they will become reborn

When life fades it must be like a new spring
Waking in Heaven where all the Angels sing
Happily tending to God’s garden above
Surrounded by all of those that you love
