seasons of my life

summer birth lots of crying and whining wanting a bottle angry about my allergies sniffling and snarling autumn childhood love for witches, jack-o-lanterns and ghosts developing fantastical stories about Dracula and Frankenstein enjoying literature, reading seven books a day that is all the library will let me have at a time winter nudges my Achilles’ heel my asthma is triggered by the cold weather I live in a climate where I tend to get pneumonia I have lots of hospital stays, my health is waning Spring brings me hope I have retired, my days are all play now I can do what I want when I want my cup is full of joy and gratitude for a terrific life.
