A step through the seasons of time:
VBREA members step through the seasons of time not unlike the way Earth goes through its annual orbit around the sun when it tilts its axis…creating seasons. Spring brings growth, fruitful summers are nourishment, crispy leaves remind us of days ahead when soon glistening snowflakes fall and at times, ends the cycle of life. These are seasons…dependable as sunrise and sunset.
Like earth’s seasons, VBREA members too, face the seasons of our lives from birth to retirement, to time when our struggles no longer exist. An eloquent expression about our humanistic seasons by poet Joseph Anderson is shared towards the bottom of this page. Our VBREA Association is so pleased that you let us join you so that together we can join our association from workdays through retirement…as we journey into what will be.

Season of Life
by Joseph Anderson
How like the season is our life,
We face the sunshine, storms and strife;
As seasons come, so they must go,
We are enjoined within that flow.
In spring we start our journey new,
When flowers bloom and skies are blue;
The trees are budding, birds will sing,
With youth in bloom, it's always spring.
'Tis summer soon, we are mature,
Face love and kids, home and career;
It's harvest time, success we seek,
These sounds of summer leave us weak.
Then autumn calls to have its say,
The foliage falls, the hair turns gray;
The chill descends and soon the frost,
We think, perhaps on things we lost.
Old winter grips with snow and cold,
We watch our destined fate unfold;
As now we near our time to go
And seek life's final afterglow.
