Great Poem

I am not one to wish the time away completely. I may say it sometimes, but I really do enjoy my life. I read this poem during my Home and Family Management class.

It was spring,
But it was summer I wanted,
The warm days,
And the great outdoors,

It was summer,
But it was fall I wanted,
The colorful leaves,
And the cool, dry air.

It was fall,
But it was winter, I wanted,
The beautiful snow,
And the joy of the holiday seasons.

It was winter,
But it was spring I wanted,
The warmth,
And the blossoming of nature.

I was a child,
But it was adulthood I wanted,
The freedom,
And the respect.

I was 20,
But it was 30 I wanted,
To be mature,
And sophisticated.

I was middle-aged,
But it was 20 I wanted,
The youth,
And the free spirit.

I was retired,
But it was the middle age I wanted,
The presence of mind,
Without limitations.

My life was over,
But I never got what I wanted.

I will leave you to think about that. :) Feel free to share through comments!
