Changing of the Seasons

The changing of the seasons
Bears a shifting of the mood
The warming of the weather
Inspires confidence renewed

Autumn turns to winter
Sure as summer follows spring
It’s regular as clockwork
With the luck that change can bring

Winter clothes go south
For their annual migration
Summer garb emerges
From its winter hibernation

Nothing lasts forever
The good times nor the bad
Our memories remind us of
The mixed fortunes we’ve had

So bring it on, this cycle
For the tide will surely turn
From sombre times and sadness
It’s happiness we yearn
