For every purpose

Haiku of reflection

For everything

there is a season; a time

for ev’ry purpose.

All things have their time

Beginnings and endings; birth

death, dancing, mourning.

A time to let go,

to plant, to love, to embrace;

a time to make peace.

A time for silence

and a time to raise your voice;

let’s not keep quiet.

We’re all growing old.

Don’t fight it, live faithfully.

Your life is God’s gift

We must all accept

the bad alongside the good.

Life is a mixture.

For what do you toil?

Life is full, life is busy;

make the most of it.

We study the past

and we ponder the future;

mystery remains.

Be happy, enjoy

your life. Eat, drink, take pleasure;

your life is God’s gift.
