In time all things heal
All things heal within due time
Yet time does not heal

Flowers bloom in time
When their blossoms are ready
Season's can't be rushed

Growth starts below ground
By the elements prepared
For the blossoming

Time belongs to God
His watch sets the increments
His time, accurate

Perfect timing on your poem.  He always knows when the time is right for us.  Very well done!!

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Songbird,

I liked the analogy of the seed having a set time to bloom.  Sometimes it seems like our talents are buried and will never come to surface... but God has within His perfect timing a time for the seed that He has planted within us to bloom.  It is encouraging to know that all things will happen in their due season.   God Bless You, Bob <><

We don't always understand, but God knows the reason for his timing. We just have to trust.  Very nice poem. Joyce

Beautiful, my friend. How we learn patience is by trusting in His perfect timing...I love this! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

SongBird~
I so enjoyed the entire idea of this beautiful piece.

One of my favorite verses in the Bible
is most relevant to the idea of our seasons of time ...

'A time to be born, And a time to die, A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted.'

Ecclesiastes 3:2

Bless you~
