Reasons and Seasons
Reasons or Seasons
By Marilyn Mackenzie


A beating heart.


Dear Lord, your kids are known to share
Wise words with one another
We forward words of wisdom so
Our lives won’t go asunder


My favorite one of all, I think
About friends both near and far
Reminds us that love comes to us
For minutes or even hours


Some friends share just an instant thing
Some get us through a trial
Others are meant to be much more
They share their love for a while


Best of all are those who share and
Love us ever and ever
Through thick or thin, good times or bad
They’ve vowed to leave us never


These special friends know who we are
With them our souls are unmasked
Still they love us, and offer us
Comfort without being asked


We cry with them, or laugh or rant
Our faults are rightly exposed
But special friends will love us still
Hearts and souls daily transposed


Each friend, his purpose will fulfill
For our todays or tomorrows
Special friends, though, share love and life
Through our daily joys and sorrows.

A beating heart.
