Once it was summer -
The lazy days of talking to neighbors
and watching our gardens grow,
Where did the time go?
Once it was fall-
With leaves turning to bright reds and yellows
and children returning to school,
Where did the time go?
Once it was winter-
Snow and ice covered the ground with trees barren
and fireplaces aglow,
Where did the time go?
Once it was spring with flowers budding and
birds reappearing-
Where did the time go?
It rolled right back to its past just as God planned it to go.
