"Life's Seasons" by Abigail Alexis~

Each season has it's laughter,
each season has it's pain.
For every season, there's a lesson,
that makes you grow again.

Distant memories flicker,
like fireflies at night.
Sometimes bright and haunting,
Then black.. slip out of sight.

But what Ive lived, is in me.
and makes me what you see.
What I hide inside me,
and what I want to be.

Struggles make us wiser,
Cuts, and bruises sting.
But stronger they will forge you,
And confidence they bring,

And everyday I'm changing.
Shaped by what I know.
So many lessons I have lived,
So many left too know.

Some seasons go unnoticed,
Subtle, like the breeze,
A warm ray after winter,
A ripple on the seas.

Other changes come on sudden,
Tumultuous affairs,
Turbid like a waterfall,
Will humble you too prayers,

Whatever way the seasons come,
Whatever way they go,
We're left feeling different,
No choice but to grow.

Today, I woke up different,
Today I woke up free,
I felt a different person,
Except that I'm still me.
