"Life"
September 12, 2015
As time goes by, life sinks away.
The flower that blooms today dies another day.
As early morning dawns the birds sing their song,
new eyes see all bright no dark.
Warm spring days and hot summer days,
they allow all fun and dreams to come.
But when crisp fall arrives, change tags along.
Dark clouds cover the path and cold winds threaten your day.
Winter comes with dark revealing itself,
and as snow falls the flower may fade.
