Seasons

We have all heard the saying...People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime...I think we grasp the first and last easily enough, but it's the season people - those that are only with us for a brief time that we seem to have a hard time wanting to let go of. And yet, we must. They've given to us what we needed. Let go...

Why do we fret and mourn the loss of seasonal people?
And yet, we don't do the same thing when it comes to a change in season
When the fall arrives, we start bringing out our sweaters and coats
And we put away bathing suits
We may miss the summer
But we know it will be back
That guy or girl is gone
Maybe you loved them
You certainly miss them
But he's gone
And so is she
Never to return
No matter how many times you will your phone to ring
Doesn't matter how good you were to them
It will never change a thing
They are gone
Like the changes of the seasons
When the leaves turn brilliant rich colors of yellow, red and green
And then they fall
When the snow in all its beauty and wonder falls and falls and falls
And then melts away to reveal wonderful spring flowers
When the summer comes
And the days become longer and longer
And the sunshine arrives
To brown and warm our skin
And bring bright sun-kissed highlights to our hair
Seasons change
And so do the people in our lives
You not feel it now
You may not realize
But it's best for you to heal
It's best for you to open your eyes
It's best for you simply....let him or her go
Because someone better is on the way
Just like that warm sweater
Warm rain kissing your face
Down coat
Great bathing suit
Christmas presents and eggnog
And even that Easter suit
Just like all these things
There will be someone else
And someone else
And someone else
Until
The right one walks in
For now though...
Enjoy the rain, wind, snow
Enjoy the sunshine
Enjoy each season as it comes through your life
Reason, season, lifetime.....
