Birth of Springtime

​In the church they talk about seasons.

Throughout the year the weather changes, the leaves fall and the flowers blossom.

Seasons are the reason.

We laughed, we cried, we built, we broke.

It’s the end of our season.

I don’t want forever because that’s not why we were put together.

I poured into you. I gave you more than I knew I had.

I’m thankful for that.

I’m not yours and you’re not mine,

But I’ve still got your back.

I’ll still defend your name and do what I can to help you succeed.

The thing about the season is that sometimes

You don’t know how long or short it’ll be.

I didn’t know that we weren’t forever.

I thought we would ride out the seasons together.

But if I’m being honest, and I am cause why lie,

I think I was pouring into your future more than you were pouring into mine.

There comes a point when you feel empty.

The well’s run dry.

Just like the winter, I’ve grown cold, and broken.

I’ve been yearning for springtime.

I need hydration, stimulation, a place to flourish.

The cold’s broken and the sun shines different.

The light flows from me, not just around me.

I wish you nothing but success and a life that’s happy.

‘cause it’s the birth of springtime,

I’m seeking abundance, joy, and growth and I do it freely.

Live

A dreamer’s dreamer. Believer. Hardworking overachiever-

underachieving.

Sprinting through life. Dreamer, slow down. You’re missing life’s true meaning.

You’re fussing when you should smile. Crying when you should laugh.

Sit and observe for a while.

Dreamer! You’re blessed, be grateful.

Be thankful for breath.

Be happy for sunshine. Don’t buckle under the stress. Smile more

-not less.

One.

You get one and the last thing you want when this one’s done is to look back and see that of all the hours spent alive,

You didn’t live for a single one.
