Relish the seasons, they will not last! Inhale deeply the fragrant air of spring. Get fired up like the blazing summer sun, Comfort your Soul in dewy winter mornings.

Rejoice! Soak up the seasons of life! Make hay while the sun is shining. Let the wind play with your hair, Dance a little, while the rain is falling.

You are as transient as the passing seasons, Yet the memories you create remain immortal. Create everlasting moments, live a little more! Smell the roses, behold the sun-kissed autumn leaves.
