Trees begin to bare their limbs as their many leaves are shed <br />Chameleons changes color from the tail to the top of its head <br />Animals go into hibernation before the first cold winter blast <br />So it is with our lives we must never try to live in the past <br /> <br />The sun begins to casts its shadows heralding the close of day <br />A flock of birds flies south creating great shapes along the way <br />Squirrels scurrying and searching about gathering and storing nuts <br />If it wasn't for the seasons of change we would all be stuck in ruts <br /> <br />The wind may blow in any direction north, south, east or west <br />When the storms of life has passed all have withstood the test <br />Everything must change when it's time to step out their range <br />Sow and reap, build up, tear down, this is our season of change<br /><br />Patricia Grantham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/seasons-of-change/
