Knowing the Reason



lifes lesson,
 beyond reason,
 enduring each season,
 trying just to win...
 a crown worn,...
 a life torn,
 into this world born,
 pierced by lifes thorn...
 different seasons to live,
 better it is to give,
 believing in the unseen,
 seeking true love serene...
 it is the coldest time,
 holding in a spring rhyme,
 emotions manipulated,
 feelings cremated...
 morals growing,
 value sowing,
 parable understanding,
 spiritually demanding...
 little is here for me,
 only that your heart be free,
 for a time will come,
 when we meet in God's Kingdom...
