Seasons Traverse Our Lives



Seasons Traverse Our Lives ©
Gary Shulman, MS. Ed.

Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
The cycles traverse our days
If life has truly blessed you
Love comes in many ways
The smell of a balmy Spring flower
The majesty of winter snow on your tongue
A steamy refreshing summer shower
The falling of leaves and a sweet Autumn song
But no greater love can ever manifest
Than the comfortable enduring kind
Of a well seasoned lasting love story
That forever keeps you young in your mind
