Life's Seasons

Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young it was the spring of my life, I played a lot. I started school, I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. Some days I felt happy and some days I didn't.

In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. I had a child. I did not have time to think. Every day, I was busy.

Then the days became shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a student. My home was much quieter. I was about 45 years old. I started walking more slowly. I had more time, I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give us delicious fruit.

Now the days become shorter and colder. W inter comes. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.
