One Year – One Life

One Year – One Life.

In winter, a little seed

sleeps cosily in the earth,

like the love of a little child

surrounded by homely warmth.

§

In spring, our little plant sprouts up

grows quickly forming buds,

like youngsters grow and feel inside

the surge of romantic love.

§

In summer, the flowers come out

so beautiful and gay.

Then love is at its height

with children on the way.

§

In autumn, plants begin to wilt

and shed their leaves and seeds.

Love then becomes a friendship

as children claim their needs.

§

In winter, seeds are in the ground

while plants wither and fade.

Love becomes a memory

as loved ones pass away.
