“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” Have you heard that or even said it? Friends are critical in life, for both our mental and physical health. But some friendship run their course and you need to do what you should do. The poem:
Reason, Season, or Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a Lifetime.
When you know which one it is,
you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meets 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 wrongdoing 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 act 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.

If Only Quotes:
Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.
-Yogi Berra
A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow all the rest away.
-Arabian proverb
If Only Extra:
FRIENDS
Beautiful friends meet at many bends
Some leave early before you can rate
Some leave late even though you relate
Some always stay no matter what it takes
TRUE friends support and believe in each other
even in dangerous and stormy weather
Some are great to laugh with and share jokes
some help you to solve life’s serious pokes
They come running to you in difficult days
giving you strength and courage in many ways
They always try to make you feel really very nice
fill your mundane life with sugar and spice
They create a space for you in their life
Jump to save you from an edgy knife
They do anything to make you feel secure
no matter what it takes your safety they ensure
They always know when your smile is fake
and can always feel your pain and ache
Please reciprocate the same love and care
for that’s what is like being sincere and fair
True friends are great for good health
Vitamin F ( friends ) adds oxygen to breath
They even boost your spiritual wealth
and stand tall by you even till your death!!!
Some are FAKE opportunistic for sure
taking advantage is all that they savor
Trying to change them never ever works
It only adds to your irritation and irks
They come in your life to get work done
exploit your goodness and then make a run
The sweetness in which they behave and act
their ulterior motive you can never suspect
Some always take and never give back
As if you owed them all that they lacked
Some just leave you in your difficult times
Whereas some push you into difficult times
Some come in your life to make you aware
that all friends are not the same, please beware
Avoid fake friends as much as you can
They are an ugly blot on the friendship clan
True loving friends are a blessing in life
God sent angels helping you to strive
Give them space to breathe with freedom
Being possessive in friendship is bad wisdom
If they are meant to be in your life with you
They will always be there no matter what you do
Be open, sincere and honest with cheer
Friendship then will flourish in top gear
Old and true friends are like old vintage wine
Their concern and love is truly pure and divine
Friends like (insert name) and (insert name) are rare to find
They are God’s gift of trust and love to mankind.
-Pushpa Chaturvedi
Yes, some friends are life long while others are more casual. We need friends at both levels. Those that cry and laugh with us and those that just laugh. It brings richness to our lives. Thank you for sharing.
