Everything Happens for a Reason

Just as summer, winter and fall are seasons
Everything that happens in your life, happens for reasons

Some we may not always understand at the time
But letting go of the ones that bring you down is not a crime

Wasting time on those that dont really care
When it is your soul that you chose to bare

Just let them move on, leave without a trace
And someday soon, you will find that smile return to your face

It may not be today, tomorrow or the next day
But I assure you good things will come your way

Don't dwell on the what ifs, the future holds something brand new
It will be personalized, from the man upstairs, just for you

Memories you will always hold dear
True friends will always be near

Reach out and tell your friends that you love them and are glad they are part of your path
You don't need to count all your friends out, skip the Math

Love the ones that you hold dear to your heart
And the others...well it is time for them to depart

I may not have the perfect life, but I have the best friends on earth
And a daughter whom I have loved since her birth

May the sun shine on your and your dreams
And you never see Freddy Krueger in real life, or there would be screams

Remember though as you go through ups and downs
Smiles can easily turn into frowns

Everything happens for a reason, it's true
Be respectful and loving in all you say and do
