Change & End

For seasons change,

and flowers live in fear

of bitter cold,

and wilt with colored tears.

For lives will change,

and eyes become more clear

to all the sights

and keep them close and dear.

For times will change,

and memories are here

to teach once more

to cherish what is near.

For all these common things--

seasons, lives, times,

--will always change and end,

I remember that despite the end,

they'll be anew and start again.
