An ever raging battle forge

Twixt seasons all year long

As one transitions to the next

The life force strain plays on

Spring concedes to Summer just

As Winter follows Fall

One season wanes, another rise

Time's unrelenting crawl

Delicate Narcissus lift their

Heads through frosty rime

As Winter loose a hoary clutch

And Spring begins its time

Golden reds and browns, the jewels that

Frame the Autumn sky

Are stolen from their arbored perch

As Winter winds whip by

Seasons in our lives are much

The same as all of these

Transition ‘tween each one of them

Cause struggles, ill at ease

Some will judge our lifework

Based on seasons, just a few

The ones that love us most of all

Will see the whole year through
