When the  summer sizzles out and the seasons change again

A page is turned  in my heart

I feel sad,  but soon I see what is good about the next chapter

I feel like the whole world is suddenly a beautiful painting

Of blazing color

Done just for me

To make me smile

And in life, too, the seasons change.

I feel sad

To say goodbye

To precisous things and precious times

But then I remember

New things are good too.

I asked for newness

And here it is

It is exquisite

and I am glad and grateful for the unexpected gift of happiness

on this day.
