Seasons Change

Seasons change

Summer to Fall

Winter to Spring

You hold them all

Writing a story

Each chapter a gift

Storyline weaves through

Even if characters shift

We plan for forever

But sometimes it ends

The lessons and memories though

Through the story transcend

It was not in vain

Though the season has changed

Forever will be cherished

The lessons and challenges exchanged

So don’t doubt your part

In the pages of my heart

Though one season has come to an end

It allows another to start

As I flip back through the pages

Venturing down memory lane

I see the tears and trials

But I also see the gain

So may I be thankful

For the role this chapter played

The value and the depth of which

I’d never seek to trade

May I experience peace

For I trust the Author of the story

That though change is never easy

That He’s using it for His glory

May the season ahead

Continue to shape and mold

And point my little piece of the world to Him

As my story continues to unfold

Just a Closer Walk with Him

A woman of God

Decades of faith

Dedication and service

Wisdom and grace

Displayed in your life

Not lost in your death

For your life always demonstrated

An intimate walk with Him

So now you are even closer

In heaven’s embrace

That day which you longed for

Now you see Him face to face

May our memories forever linger

To remember and hold dear

And take comfort in the solace that because of our salvation

We will once again be near
