Renewing Seasons

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

Central Ohio’s Walnut Woods Metro Park waits for spring under cover of snow.

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

  

Morning’s brilliant sunrise awakens in central Ohio.

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.”

All of history looks back at that moment–to the tragedy and triumph of that cross.  First the crucifixion, then the resurrection of the Son of God.

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

We the People

“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

George Burns Quotes

You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.

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.
