Seasons of life (poem)

Seasons of life

From the time of our birth,
On the world we call Earth,
The seasons of our life, with our childhood, begins.
Learning whilst we have fun,
Playing games in the sun,
Laughing aloud as we all race to see who wins.

During childhood we grow,
Learning more as we go,
Too soon the season of adolescence arrives.
Each child seeking a way,
Exploring more each day,
Discovering a new future for their young lives.

Into the world we stroll,
Making a life our goal,
During the long season that we call adulthood.
So many paths to take,
In life’s journey to make,
An adventure filled with both the sad and the good.

Whilst we work, rest, and play,
The years just roll away,
Then the season of seniors comes into view.
To the young we now turn,
As we help them to learn,
The cycle of life’s seasons beginning anew.

But it hasn’t happened yet (poem)

But it hasn’t happened yet

But it hasn’t happened yet, so it’s not too late,
The fears within us do not have to be our fate.
If there’s still a clear sky above us, we can win,
If there’s a clear road before us, we can begin.

Even if the sky’s cloudy, we can still prepare,
Even if the roads bumpy, it can get us there.
Even in the darkest night, the dawn will arrive,
If we are still standing, the dream is still alive.

If it hasn’t happened yet, we can still choose a way,
To seek out a better path to get through today.
Even if every choice is not ours to make,
We can decide within, the thoughts we want to take.

Until it has happened, we can keep on going,
And let the dreams for tomorrow keep on growing.
The way to the future can be found in your heart,
Being kind in this world is a good place to start.
