People come into your life for a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is for a person, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they ac t up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

It's always hard to let go of something that's good and wonderful...
but sometimes we have to...
and when that time comes...
just let the silent tears wash away the pain.

I guess its time I put to words
What I have lost from the past
The many times I have reflected
And now the words come out

Every time I look back
I see what all went wrong
All that happened to us
The differences we had

We slowly drifted apart
And then I broke us up
We used to be the best of lovers
And now were nothing much

So finally I have given up
Trying to return us all
To the way we were
I have learned my lesson now

I guess that people always change
And there’s nothing to do now
But let our dead hearts lay
To good bye forever

You must know that this is it
We are no longer the same at all
We have fallen from our grace
Its been a falling out of sorts

When I say I love you I do
But this with you will not do
I need someone I can lean on
Someone I can count on too

Yes you are there sometimes
For that I am grateful to you
But I need someone there full time
And that you cannot do

You told me once you loved me
That I could believe in you
I was there when you needed someone
Where were you when I needed someone, too?

The time has come for me to let go
Never to expect you to care again
People may come and people may go
But my love will never end

As my debt grows, so my love does, too.
What you give I cannot half repay.
Your love for me enflames my love for you.

I can't help being moody, often blue,
Irritable, anxious, sad, and yet you stay.
As my debt grows, so my love does, too.

I know I'm lucky to have someone who
Will love me through this, day by troubled day.
Your love for me enflames my love for you.

Gifts like yours to me do not accrue.
Still, it's hard when giving goes one way.
As my debt grows, so my love does, too.

Yet unlike money, love is never due.
Its return is free, in just the way
Your love for me enflames my love for you,

A natural grace, making one of two.
And so this darkness has its own bright ray:
As my debt grows, so my love does, too;
Your love for me enflames my love for you


Hearts find little happiness in lust,
Although therein lies life's most lavish pleasure.
Perhaps one looks for love because one must,
Pressed to seek a gift that one might treasure.
Yet love and lust can complement each other,
Finding each in each an answering grace:
In lust a lonely fantasy of power
Fulfilled within love's mutual embrace.
Through love one preserves the best of blends,
Having each to serve the other's ends.
