Good Days<\/em><\/p>\n

Seasons exists for all things, good days for every experience under God’s watch.<\/p>\n

Days for giving birth and days for resting in peace.<\/p>\n

Days for putting seeds in the ground and days for plucking fruit from trees.<\/p>\n

Days for slaying dragons and days for restoring hope.<\/p>\n

Days for punching holes in walls and days for patching walls with holes.<\/p>\n

Days for wiping tears off cheeks and days for laughing your ass off.<\/p>\n

Days for mourning what’s been lost and days for celebrating what’s been found.<\/p>\n

Days for hiding your feelings and days for putting it all on the table.<\/p>\n

Days for holding on and days for walking away.<\/p>\n

Days for keeping hope and days for facing truth.<\/p>\n

Days for remembering what was and days for forgetting what wasn’t.<\/p>\n

Days for ripping apart and days for sewing seams.<\/p>\n

Days for speaking your mind and days for shutting your mouth.<\/p>\n

Days for making love and days for knowing what to hate.<\/p>\n

Days for fighting good fights and days for letting opinions die and rebuilding relationships.<\/p>\n

Seasons exists for all things, good days for every experience under God’s watch.<\/p>\n
