SEASONS
How many seasons have you spent?
Too many to count where they went.
How many winters have you slept?
Too many snowfalls have I wept.
How many springs have sprung on you?
Too many flowers felt the dew.
How many summers have you sailed?
Too many loved, lost, won, and failed.
How many falls have you seen?
Too many yards I’ve had to clean.
How many seasons have you spent?
Too many to count where they went.
