The Seasons of our Lives

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, too!
Life flows on...no matter what we do!!
From birth to old age, we grow, learn and change,
Experiencing life....in such a wide range!
Our bodies crumble...but, our heart is the same,
Heroines and Heroes....each with a name!
Fantasy and Romance....to delight and amuse,
Flirtation and gentleness, for you to use!
Romantic Love is valid, whatever the age,
Leads you into a pleasant, new "stage"!
It quickens your steps and stirs your heart!
Both daring souls....unwilling to part!
Like a magic wand, that sparkles with light,
For special moments, on a moonlit night!
For those, who never a soulmate find,
Imaginative creations can delight the mind!
Music....poetry.....and prose can be.....
Vehicles, to transform space into speciality!
The journey, from Spring to Winter, takes courage!
In Summer, we sometimes find things to discourage!
But, Autumn brings colour and a Harvest moon,
Troubles disappear, giving joyfulness soon!
Soft, wintery white brings insight and calm,
And knowledge, we wished we'd had all along!
Now able to adjust to reality!
In tune, with blessings and spirituality!!
In the last days of Winter, our bodies crumble,
And distant hills beckon, while we gently slumber!
Time and Tests have had their day!
Along with Work and a little Play!
We're left with our memories, in a special carved box,
Pictures of loved ones and a child's golden locks,
A few regrets and a lot of delights,
To fill our dreams, on cold, lonely nights!
But, hopefully, on the very last day,
We can honestly recall......and hopefully say,
"I did my best.....for mankind and me!"
"I tried to do, what GOD wanted it to be!"
For on that day......so very near......
This is all, that HE wants to hear!
HE knows ALL and will forgive mistakes!
Trying and caring is all that it takes!!
The FINAL JUDGE is kind and fair,
HE'll lead you......to the Golden Stair!

Pauline Banning   W2-853-Sep-97-D2

It is often difficult to let go of what is familiar and move on to a new
stage in life. If we are wise, we slip gently into the next phase and
accept reality, in a mature fashion. Each stage consists of ups and
downs.....and after many trials and sorrows, along with accomplishments and
happy times, we learn to " go with the flow"....hopefully, making
decisions, that don't harm ourselves, or even more important....others!
There were times in my own life, when I had to sacrifice my own dreams, in
order to accept  responsibilies, due to earlier inadequate decisions. I
felt, that those involved would appreciate my dedication, but this was not
to be.

However, God and I know........and nothing else really matters. Life is
just a short passage in time.....with many lessons to learn.....and I am
sad to say, that modern humans often do not live up to their full
potential.....and settle for less......unaware, that personal challenges
could have brought special gifts to our world.We are all "One-of-a-kind
with special "seeds of success" at birth.....and meant to blossom into
something truly beautiful....not just "blobs" without goals or purpose!!
