General Reflection


As I often do, I sit here now to reflect
On many things in my life, mostly what I didn’t expect

I search for the meanings and the all reasons
To what has passed like do the different seasons.

The ones that return to surface over and over again
I seem to be grasping the message it's trying to send

The older I become the more inclined I am to believe
Total understanding is something we can never achieve

Things take place at their moment and in their own time
Answers and understanding may take years for to find

Certain things seem to occur with great consistence
To know the reasons I want no delay or resistance

As time passes I realize I may do only what I can
it may not have been for me to understand

Things take place in our lives for all kinds of reasons
Affecting all those around us just like do the seasons

The way I see may not be the way for it you to perceive
Not mine, your own inflection is what you should believe

Which brings me back to my true reason for reflection
Stick to what I already knew from previous inspection.

Hopefully I learned what I should have at that time
That it will help uncover in the future what I am to find.
