Seasons of the Heart

Our hearts have seasons, don't you know?
Tears and scars that over flow,
Memories warm as summer and spring,
Things that make you smile and sing. 
A snap shot frozen in our hearts
Like timeless, priceless, precious art.
And words that burn straight into you
Stabs you, kills you, rips in two. 
  A changing place were people leave,
Long winter nights that let you grieve,
  Or new friends come like summer rain. 
Waters of kindness that help you feel sane. 
Tragedy strikes like a Lightning bolt,
  And thunder follows with blame and fault. 
  Torrential floods that take away,
     Loved ones, homes, and future days. 
  And like a clear, crisp, starlit night
     A steady friend can make things bright
   Even when the world is cold
   And darkness falls and takes a hold
 The heart has seasons, as we now know
  But there is something we all should show
 A heart that moves us towards love
  The kind that's shown from God above. 
   A love not based on words, but deeds
  These words an excellent person heeds.
