Analysis of Reason and Rhyme



Everything has it's season,
Everything has it's time.

All things have a reason,
All things have a rhyme.

Oft times we can't see it,
For oft times we can't see,

What time in all it's wisdom,
Meant that thing to be.

So live your full life's season,
Listening for the rhyme.

For all things live with reason,
For all things die with time.
