Poetry: Reasons And Seasons

When your burdens heavy laden

From the cares you find in life,

And you cannot find a reason

For your troubles and your strife,

When it feels you go in circles

And at times you walk in place,

And your tears flow like a river

As they each run down your face,

You must know you're not alone there

In your place of tears and pain,

And the burdens you now carry

Are not carried all in vain.

For there's reasons and there's seasons

To the mysteries in life,

There's sowing and there's growing

Through our happiness and strife.

We're shaped and rearranged

With each burden that we bear,

A hard heart now made softer

One that understands and cares.

And though your pain seems now in vain

On this journey we call life,

Soon you'll look back and you'll realize

There were reasons for your strife.

A lesson learned, a different view,

We're growing all the time,

You need only search within your heart

And a reason you will find.
