Here's mine:

Sometimes growth isn't gentle.
It spears the past with purposeful intent,
Pushing through brittle memories of a former season.
Determination, an understatement.

dropping things they never meant to lose,
forgetting tasks like leaves slipping off a branch.
It is rarely personal,
life is often much heavier than they make it appear, so give them grace.

But ...
