There are times and there are seasons
and God only knows the reasons
our existence seems to wander up and down.
For our lives have variations,
sorry times and celebrations,
times you feel like you’re a hero or a clown.

Every feeling God has given
us to use while we are livin’
we will need some time or other in our lives.
There will be a time for sighing,
even be a time for crying.
That’s a certainty, no matter how one strives.

There’ll be times when you’ll be smiling,
times when life will be beguiling,
when you feel like you’re a winner all the way.
Then again, when life’s abusing
you, you’ll feel as though you’re losing,
times the piper seems to ask for double pay.

So be honest with your feeling.
For the stoic’s not appealing.
And the difference ’twixt a robot and a man
is that people give expression
to elation and depression:
and we’re all that way from king to courtesan.

Then, whatever be your purview,
when the one you love is with you,
celebrate his presence now, while he is here.
For the time may come tomorrow
to express the deepest sorrow
as you’re weeping at the loss of all that’s dear.
