Reflection
Take a deep breath of air
Look into the arc of the sun
Today we are full of life
Who knows what the morrow brings
Seasons come and seasons go
Summer rains and winter snows
Past memories engulf our mind
Thoughts of yesteryear left behind
We progress with each new day
Creating new moments to hide away
Seasons come and seasons go
Summer rains and winter snows
We can live in the present or past
Just remember life moves on fast
Life comes with no guarantee
Here today, gone tomorrow
Then life is but a distant memory.
