Four Seasons of Life

(Narvel Felts)



Deep in the night a baby cries

Little does he understand

That before he knows it

He'll be a man.



In the spring

A young man's fancy turns to love

In treetops high

He sees the mating of the dove.



The he finds her

Somehow, somewhere

And with one kiss

A love they share.



This is the first season of life.



In the summer

He gives her a wedding band

As hot wind blows

They walk together hand in hand

And then they have a family

First comes one, then two, then three.



This is the second season of life.



Then comes Autumn

The green leaves turn to gold

Their two daughters have children

Their son takes a wife

Their grandchildren

Now number one and three.



This is the third season of life.



In the winter

An old man's hair has turned to snow

His love is gone

With the cold north wind that blows.



For she is gone

And he's alone

Soon he must go

Where she has gone.



This is the last season of life...
