At the core, everything begins with the relationship we have within ourselves.
Knowledge of the self is the root of all knowledge.

From Ecclesiastes 3:1: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Winter’s dormant, gray months
Nature taking her break
Gathering strength for spring
Life’s welcoming handshake
People face frozen times
Seeking spirit’s rebirth
Darkness returns to light
New season blesses earth
Summer’s shining moments
Nature’s blooming color
Autumn’s blessed pause waits
Hourglass sand grows smaller
Happiness seeks to shine
Hope filling eager hearts
Spirit nurtures man’s faith
Risen Lord, life restarts
Through nature’s creation
Breathing with perfect poise
Order to life itself
God’s divine plan deploys
Life’s transition wakens
Rising sun shares reasons
Joy, sorrow, gain, or loss
Renewing fresh seasons

From Genesis 8:22: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”

From Romans 5:8: “God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.”

“We the People” drafted
Constitution crafted
Forefathers build nation
Democracy’s station
Living in common cause
Unity never pause
Choosing “We” over “Me”
Finding means to agree
America’s ship sails
“We the People” prevails
World War II fought and won
Nation working as “One”
Sacrifices show pride
Freedom’s devoted ride
Imperfect union lives
Unselfish people give
What’s happening today?
Are we losing our way?
Debating common sense
Rhetoric becomes tense
Choosing “Me” over “We”
Lady Liberty flees

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
George Burns (1896-1996) entertained Americans through a variety of venues (vaudeville, radio, film, and television) as a comedian, actor, singer, and writer.
