SOPHIA'S SEASONS Verse 1 Born in Holden, spring of '97 Daughter of Isaac and Martha's love New England soil beneath her feet A century closing, another to greet Young Sophia Buck with dreams untold A life of stories waiting to unfold Verse 2 Lambert Brigham took her hand In eighteen seventeen, their life began Two sons and Sophia, as years rolled by Then came the day she had to say goodbye A widow young with children three Facing the world with dignity Chorus Through the seasons, through the years Through the laughter, through the tears Three names she carried before Stone Building a life to call her own Sophia weathered every storm Keeping her heart and her spirit warm Verse 3 Thomas Newton next came along Vermont's green mountains heard their song Another son to raise with care Before returning to the land she'd shared Needle and thread would earn her bread A seamstress strong with children fed Chorus Through the seasons, through the years Through the laughter, through the tears Three names she carried before Stone Building a life to call her own Sophia weathered every storm Keeping her heart and her spirit warm Verse 4 At sixty-five when most would rest With Jonathan Stone she made her nest A stonecutter's wife in twilight years Sharing new joys and aging fears Her daughter Sophia by her side As time's long river continued to glide Bridge From candlelight to kerosene From horse-drawn days to machines She watched the world transform and turn Through civil war and lessons learned Eighty-four winters, eighty-four springs Her life a tapestry of ordinary things That together made something beautiful and rare A woman's journey beyond compare Chorus Through the seasons, through the years Through the laughter, through the tears Three names she carried before Stone Building a life to call her own Sophia weathered every storm Keeping her heart and her spirit warm Outro They laid her down in winter's grasp Her story complete at last But through her blood, in veins that flow Sophia's strength continues to grow Buck, Brigham, Newton, Stone A legacy that lives on Through the seasons... through the years...
