Seasons Come and Seasons Go (9/2007)

With spring gone and summer underway,
Now we have a longer day.
No more school and no more worries,
The last bell rings and everyone scurries.

To my house to play some ball,
The shot callers make fools of us all.
Working hard and playing all day,
I wouldn't have it any other way.

Once refreshed and cool,
We'd go for a swim in the local pool.
The sun blazed overhead,
But in the water I did not dread.

Seasons come and seasons go,
Spring brings life and winter brings snow.
But summer is best of all:
Better than spring, winter or fall.

Summer brings warmth and joy
For every girl and every boy.
But summer also brings about great sadness:
We left my old house in a state of madness.

Wrenched from family and friends,
Never to see some again.
To a new house, new town, new friends,
My old life was at an end.

Seasons come and seasons go,
As the flowers bloom and trees grow.
So, take heed: look around,
Don't miss a single sound.

Walk slower as you go through life,
Let nothing bother you:
Not school, nor friends nor strife.

Seasons come and seasons go:
So enjoy your life... and never let go.
