8-18-16 Someday, You’ll See

 •Someday, you'll see• 

Someday you won't hear that sweet honey voice

Wake up and smell grease and butter and see her hover over the stove 

Her hair a mess of brown slowly turning into grey like leaves on a tree 

Autumn is approaching her eyes

Colors change and her face begins to droop 

She knows summer is ending 

But she jumps into the leaves willing to take the risk of the changing colors

It's all so beautiful

She repeats over and over until green turns into red and orange in her eyes

She knows autumn ends and winter slowly bites on our ears 

But she jumps into the snow unafraid of the cold nipping her toes 

It's all so beautiful 

Repeated over and over until grass is covered in a blanket of white 

She knows winter ends and spring stretches out of the ground to kiss the clouds

But she jumps into a bed of daisies and cares for the bees 

It's all so beautiful 

Repeated over and over until the flowers lose their petals and wilt to the warm ground 

She knows spring ends and summer's  rays glow from the rising sun 

But she jumps into a cold ocean ready to explore the creatures below 

The seasons change 

We can't stop the leaves from falling 

We can't stop the snow from melting 

We can't stop the flowers from losing their petals

We can't stop the clouds from covering the sun

We are never stuck in the ground 

As a dandelion, we travel and grow

Remember 

The seasons change and so must I
