The Seasons of Your Life

1. Every season of one’s life 
should fully be enjoyed.

And all the FACETS life presents 
one never should avoid.

Babies may shed tears responding 
to their many needs.

When a toddler learns to walk they 
can scrape both their knees.

Children find it hard to share 
with others all their toys.

Adolescents’ awkwardness 
is meeting girls and boys.

2. Teenagers are frustrated 
with parents’ many rules.

Young adults can feel 
opposing views are bred by fools.

People in their thirties raising 
FAMILIES can feel worn,

and when they reach their forties, 
from their jobs can feel forlorn.

Fifties may cause sadness when 
their children all leave home,

followed by their sixties when 
they might feel quite alone.

3. In their seventies, some may 
have thoughts of journey’s end,

and in their eighties ponder how 
they would live life again.

Nineties can bring feelings that 
one’s friends now all are gone.

And if they reach one hundred that 
their life on earth is done.
These thoughts should quickly be dismissed, 
so fleeting they will be,

assuring us each season we’ll 
ENJOY contentedly.

4. The springtime brings us our new life 
on earth from God above.

In summertime we grow in stature 
as we grow in love.

When autumn comes we should reflect 
on all the things we’ve done,

and then rejoice each day of life 
for every morning sun.

The winter of our lives should be 
the most rewarding though,

if we allow the warmth within 
our hearts to OVERFLOW.

5. In this way we will ENRICH 
all those we chance to meet;

whether they are young or old, 
are humble or elite.

Please enjoy each phase of life, 
with God’s love shining through,

so you can pass His heavenly gate 
as He waits there for you
