Reason and Rhyme

Brenda Wilkins 1959 (Georgia)

March 22 
Lyric
Everything has it's season,
Everything has it's time.

All things have a reason,
All things have a rhyme.

Oft times we can't see it,
For oft times we can't see,

What time in all it's wisdom,
Meant that thing to be.

So live your full life's season,
Listening for the rhyme.

For all things live with reason,
For all things die with time.

About this poem

This is an original, unpublished poem reflecting that all life has a limit and each individual life has a purpose even though we, as individuals, may never understand what that purpose is.
