Day For All

There is a day for birth, a day for death,
A day for childhood, a day for age.
A day for marriage, a day for parting,
A day for failure, a day for success.
A day for refusal, a day for embrace—
Nothing is ever truly new.

A day for truth, a day for lies;
A day for setback, a day for rise.
A day for war, a day for peace,
A day to sow, a day to reap.
All of it flows within our lives.

A day for honor, a day for shame;
A day for order, a day for chaos.
A day for sorrow, a day for joy,
A day for healing, a day for pain,
A day for fullness, a day for hunger—
All are woven into our being.

And through all the days, Love in its many forms flow freely, Joseph. You’ve articulated very beautifully the changing nature of experiences as it moves through days, as a measurement of time. Well done. ThkU for sharing & write, write to your heart’s content. Blessings, Ghairo.
