In Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 11, Solomon tells us that God has set eternity in the hearts of men. In other words, the Lord has given us a longing for things that are neverending and ever-changing.
In Psalm 37, verse 4, the Psalmist tells us to “take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” This lets us know how to satisfy that desire set within us. By taking delight in the path the Lord has called us to.
That path is as it has always been. As Moses writes in Genesis chapter 1, verse 28 we are called to fill the earth, exercise dominion over it, and all its inhabitants. In that manner, we are to continue to grow in all we do.
In that spirit, I wrote this poem for a good friend of mine named Jim. This is “Seasons Come, and Seasons Go.”
Seasons come and seasons go
Yet life endures, its eternal flow
There is no end to times that pass
Yet, no one time is sure to last
For all such things must find an end
So that new times shall turn their bend
A pity to find, should one be stuck
Never anew, always a muck
For life is growth, and death decay
So then, to die, is long to stay
In but one place, one may not grow
And for their life, not much to show
Unless they do forge on ahead
Never to be one so dead
But one alive, alive indeed
Ever to strive to meet one's need
