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.
