Life happens like the cycles of seasons<\/p>\n
And things happen in it for many different reasons<\/p>\n
When you are young its summer and you have lots of fun<\/p>\n
But summers turns to fall and its all done<\/p>\n
For the summer was your youth were you learned and played away your days<\/p>\n
But you grow older in the fall, and like the leaves, play decayed<\/p>\n
The leaves of your life soon change color and fall<\/p>\n
More responsibilities, less fun and your getting kinda tall<\/p>\n
This season of your life, winter must be the worst<\/p>\n
You’ve been dumped, fired, and evicted.\u00a0 You feel mighty cursed<\/p>\n
The snow of misfortune falls heavy like a million blizzards<\/p>\n
And you meet only bad people with blood cold as a lizards<\/p>\n
The nights get longer and your days shorter in your life<\/p>\n
You’ve gone through alot of hardships and strife<\/p>\n
Its gets a little warmer as spring shows some light<\/p>\n
You soon know that goodtimes are on the way and you have a reason to fight<\/p>\n
Slowly buy surely the snow and ice melt<\/p>\n
And the warmth seems to fade away the pain and hurt you felt<\/p>\n
Spring is now here, the brunch between winter and summer<\/p>\n
Fresh new growth in life, a new song, a new band, with a hell of a drummer<\/p>\n
Melting ice gets brushed aside to make room for your feet<\/p>\n
And sometimes your butt as you sit in the street<\/p>\n
The days are now longer, the street lights get a break<\/p>\n
More cookouts fill the yards, bring on the steaks<\/p>\n
Reported cases of cabin fever sharply decline the closer summer comes<\/p>\n
And the party goers dance wildly to the beat of solar drums<\/p>\n
That cold winter alone is only remembered as a bad dream<\/p>\n
That you’ve awoken from long ago as you feel your heart beam<\/p>\n
Love holds your hand once again and leads you down the road of happiness<\/p>\n
You promise not to lose your grasp this time even through a snapped wrist<\/p>\n
So you buy a ring for the finger of your fling<\/p>\n
And by the time you get the courage to ask, summer’s last song is about to sing<\/p>\n
You pop the question on the first day of fall, it must have been a sign<\/p>\n
Cause as you got down on one knee, like the seasons, she changed her mind<\/p>\n
You feel a chilly breeze as she declines your request<\/p>\n
And your heart catches up with your body and you feel a chill in your chest<\/p>\n
The seasons again have gone full circle pulling your life in tow<\/p>\n
And you slip back into your seasonal depression, around and around you go<\/p>\n
