Seasons

 It's the season for sprucing up the yard, getting it prepared for mowing and removing the weeds. It's a time for planting spring flowers to grow throughout the summer months. 

     There seems to be a season for everything throughout summer, winter, fall, and spring.
     However, there are other seasons as well. Just as we cannot always predict when seasons of weather will come upon us, it is even more difficult to predict when our seasons of happiness, sadness, sorrow, or health will spring forward or fall behind us. Following are my thoughts on the seasons of life.

Seasons 

                                           

 We’ll always have seasons

We know not when or the reasons

I had a season of childhood:

A season when all was good.

Then there was the season of despair

When troubles seemed to float through the air.

I had problems with the season of distrust;

All was not right or just.

Seasons come and go,

Never knowing how I’ll grow

Or how they’ll flow.

They spin on a dime,

Appearing in life’s time;

We can expect seasons in life 

To come with peace or strife.

The season of waiting

Is always frustrating.

When, Lord! When

Will a new season begin?

When will this season pass

As the sand flows through the hour-glass?

“In my time, my child.,” I hear

As God draws near,

Listening to my prayer.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens… He has made everything beautiful in its time.”
