Written when I was trying to remember that God’s love is all around me.
Look up and listen to the birds sing their songs
A sparrow doesn’t fall to the ground without you knowing
Trying to remember there are four seasons in a year
Trying to remember there are more reasons to see your hand
As Spring brings the hope of new beginnings and the trees get their blooms and leaves
As they fill the air with the fragrances you gave them
As the flowers blossom and as I marvel at the colors
As their life cycles, remind me there will be new life
As fall approaches, you gave me symphony of color
As fall approaches, the trees leaves are falling and covering the ground
As fall approaches, help me remember that the days will be getting longer
As fall approaches, help me anticipate the coming of the storms
Summer is a time of rest and recreation, school’s out and children are laughing and singing
Summer is a time when there are big events, that can bring community
Summer is a time to remember that you make each and every season
Summer is a time of not only reflection, but also of anticipation of what is coming next
Winter brings the snow, and the cold
Not my favorite season because everything hurts because of the cold
The trees lose their leaves, and the world is in hibernation
The trees lose their leaves only to remember that there will be new life
The seasons in my life, take many different shapes
The seasons in my life, are ever changing but sometimes I feel stuck
The seasons in my life, bring me new possibilities
The seasons in my life, bring me new challenges and ways that I can learn to trust you
