The Melody of the Season

Remembering the songs of my life’s Spring

Joy comes quick and laughter seems endless

As a boy the school bell rings

Just waiting to grow up I feel so anxious

Summer waits for me in the distance

Just messing with friends it all seems true

Parents thinks we teens are a nuisance

Then I feel my first kiss and my world turns blue

Summer ain’t over yet and as we become our own heroes

Knowing that my friends will fight with me to the end

Wishing for our encore as the audience says bravo

Curtains go down as we make amends

Leaves begin to fall but the music plays on

Listening to the melody with your wife and son

Grown up you teach what you can to a young mind

That soul is now a part of love combined

Winter reminds you of all the accomplishments

Of all the sacrifice and the memories that were dormant

You know you did right by you, your son, and family

You welcome God’s embrace as he calls for you,

Smiling at the world you leave behind only saying, gladly.
