A time for war and there is time for peace

The circle of life brings out things oh so bright
A double edged sword is a balanced life
For what is but ahead of us but death?
To what can we ascribe to have delight?
The future: is it bright or is it dark?
Prepared for destiny and not the fall
The truth exists but some still seek what's false
Eternity call out beyond life's spring
Beware deceit and cling to what is true
Declare yourself as fit before the fight
And prove to life your duty, show you care.
 
The best of life is one that shows you care
To overcome the storm of life, show peace
No matter what the season, live like spring
While peaceful, sometimes you may have to fight
Because the greatest enemy means death
Sometimes to win there comes a time to fall
For after darkness, lo the sun grows bright
Beware deceptive living that is false
For what is there but truth that makes a life
For life with lies is hard, yes this is true
While living truthfully avoids the dark
Regrets are few, so try it with delight.
 
Rejoicing peacefully in pure delight
Believe in God's own personal care
Despite the fearsome dangers of the dark
Endurance toward fighting even death
Aware to balance triumph there's a fall
Longsuffering is part of having peace
Enlightenment most certainly is bright
What matters most is for eternal life
For life has seasons, tis entirely true
From Summer, Autumn, Winter, and the Spring
The times in life occasionally fight
Beware then anything that too is false.
 
Does life then test us as in true and false?
Or multiple like choices for delight?
Does winter snow doth thrill or leaves of fall?
Will spring bring sunshine bright or winter dark?
Alive, but what is life is one can't care?
Monotony, a life if one's not true
To self. A future fated to be bright
Yet failed by selfish motives turned from life
To worship death. Redeemed! Prepare to fight
Against the wiles of evil. Call for peace
The fight assured incited unto death
Inside your hearts! Return eternal spring!
 
Against the winter, generate the spring
The entropy thus weakens what is false
And sends the denizens into the dark
Thus leaving peacefully alive what's true.
The lion, the lamb, together brought in peace.
The great, the small, enlightenment so bright!
Eternally set free now, from the fall
The victory against defeated death!
Rejoicing now forever, endless life!
Before the great I Am, who shows His care
By sending sacrificial love's delight,
Defeating evil in the crucial fight!
 
Is life much more than finding who to fight?
Is living chosen only for the spring?
Are all so truly fated for the dark?
While some tis fated one day to be true
For others there is something more than death.
The faithful are fated a future bright
Beyond the fearful fated for their fall.
A life of love, a palace set for peace
Because they lived a life of showing care
Defending weak ones tempted by the false,
They give themselves away in true delight
Rejoicing for what lies ahead in life.
 
So what does make one choose to live their life?
Is life a war? Tis but an endless fight?
A war cannot continue. It must fall.
Such pride in self! A weakness til false,
For someone's always greater.  Best to care
For others. Joy in service leads to peace.
A life so dedicated is quite bright
"Look out for self" is proven not as true
As living selflessly in true delight.
The selfish dwelling helpless in the dark
Oh call them forth to wash clean in the spring.
Be clean! Be unafraid of pending death!
 
The sting and fear of many for one's death
Is one that sharpens focus on one's life.
For life on earth is not an endless spring
But seasons come and go as light and dark
For some it's wealth and pleasure to delight
And for a moment briefly this is true
But time decays their momentary peace
And nothing's left. So what is it you care
About? For how prepared are you to fight?
Philosophy will not avoid the fall.
For truth declared is right and not the false
You're born. You die. Between is life so bright!
 
Can life alone without a love be bright?
Companions, can they cheat the sting of death?
Togetherness, the place of great delight
The land of love, whose presence calls out peace
Can true companionship enhance one's life?
A friendship true. But many are so false
A friendship faux will hasten one's own fall
But friendship encourages faith that's true
The coil is tight; the trap is ripe to spring
A false companion flees before the fight
For friendship, what is that? They do not care.
Prepared, the chains deceptions have are dark.
 
Alone, one fears to walk on in the dark
But with a friend, the light it shines so bright
Alone, life is winter, but friendship spring
Companionship and love is made for life
Unfortunately evil turns it false
The enemy despises things of peace
For peace reminds the evil of their fall
from grace. Thus strife envisioned they delight
They scheme so proudly against all that's true
The purposed darkness' true desire is death
The enemy of life desires to fight
Until all hope is gone. So have a care.
 
A life of love declares a life of Care
The struggle then defines the light from dark
For who can love another if they're false?
Who can live knowing that their heart is death?
Declare to all about the truth of life!
In heavenly robes take on pure delight
Refresh yourself within eternal spring
The war will win for soldiers who are true
The banners gleam with colors oh so bright
The enemy declares against the peace
The truth prepares one truly for the fight
Enchanters and deceivers thus do fall.
 
The battle rages on, defeated fall
For victory's prepared for those who care
Defeat declared, retreating into dark
Demented dungeons, enemies of life!
For them, there is no hope  for them, no spring.
Eternal joy forever in delight
Eternal peace and truth and nothing false
Eternal life for there is no more death
The Lord prepared a place so truly bright
Rewarding place for those who stayed so true
No need to hurt, and never more to fight
Forgotten tears in this bright place of peace.
 
Before the great I Am, who shows His care
Embrace what's true, reject now what is false
Oh live in spring, beware who lives to fall
Avoid what's death, but choose the path of life
Avoid the dark, but tread the path so bright
For peace, the enemy then you must fight
Eternal joy forever in delight!
