Analysis of Seasons of time
Seasons of time
Now, while you live the experience
of the winter years of your life,
do you remember the joy
of the yester years of your life?
Do you long to burn again
in the summer years of your life?
Do you yearn to smell afresh
the flowers of the spring years of your life?
They will never be again
they will never be the same.
The memories serves to warm you
in the winter years of your life.
