Seasons of Color


 It’s been said, “friends forever”
Yet, that isn't always true.
Some may come into your world
then turn and walk away from you.


Some may be just “for a reason”
you won’t know until the end.
Cherish time, you have with them
love them as a precious friend.


Even as we go through seasons
winter, summer, fall and spring.
So it is with different people
touching us with what they bring.


Other friends may be a lifetime
that is rare, I’ve heard it told.
If you find a friend so precious
value them, more than fine gold.


People brush against the canvas
of our lives in many ways.
Painting colors, leaving memories
in those moments we call days.


Like the seasons always changing
winter, summer, fall & spring.
Just receive every person
and the colors that they bring.


For their color paints the canvas
of our lives and masterpiece
treasure each and every person
those you hold, or have released.
