Poem - Changing Times - Courtney Lyn Blystone

By: Courtney Lyn Blystone

Seasons change from summer to fall
Winter coming with an early frost
Plants start to shrivel up and turn brown
Grass soon turns into hay
Trees begin to lose all the leaves
Which turned such pretty colors in the fall.

People grow and change year to year
A baby learns its first word
Two new parents so brilliantly excited
A young boy learns to ride his bike

Like everything does in the cycle of life
People may grow, things may change
We can choose to accept it or run scared

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest

The weather might not all be sunny
You might not always wear a smile

Laughter may never come

Connections may be lost between good friends

In the end, one thing is constant
That is which we call, love.
