changing seasons

just like the seasons change so does every aspect of our lives.

we grow like the trees & we shed leaves and colors.

we learn to get by with nothing covering our backs other then the hope that our leaves will grow again & cover some of the scars we have survived. 

we go through sunny days and snow storms.

rainy days & thunder clouds.

we learn to protect ourselves from changing weather but forget to protect our hearts from changing people. 

we watch the seasons change & learn to cope with what we know is coming.

but we forget to remember that just like the seasons people change too.

we forget that people’s leaves change colors, some even fall off.

some trees get knocked down.

some make themselves useless & some useful.

some even die.

with every changing season we embrace, we need to embrace the change within ourselves and others.

we need to remember that change isn’t always bad because it can be good.

it isn’t always unnecessary because it can be necessary. 

change will help us grow.

& even if it doesn’t. it will always bring us into another season.
