These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Times and Seasons

To every time of life on Earth,
there is season for the things we do.
The day we're born, and second birth
need to be done for us before we're through.

We pray for seasonings, that repair
the bitterness of our painful times.
These things, that make us stop, and stare.
draw earthly hearts to life sublime.

The seasons of our hopes in youth
are filled with Joy, delightful goals.
Renew we must this ageless Truth,
that keeps us moving on as whole.

The seasons narrow as we near
the diving board to the lasting Day.
In Jesus Christ we need no fear,
the seasoning of his hope displayed.
