In Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 relates marvelously to us with PTSD.
Ancient wisdom still can be a beacon for those weakened, you see.

The explanation is a direct coalition for relief from degradation.
A tip is to ponder the meaning of sorrow with contemplation.

This inspired thought tells us there is a time and season for everything.
Since we with past trauma have experienced torment, it is time for a new thing!

That is the good news for us who have suffered with the PTSD blues.
This passage is filled with hope for new beginnings with clever clues.

Indeed we are told there is a time to break down and build up.
How can we do this after so long of drinking from an empty cup?

Well, we already had the break down, and now can look forward to renovation.
Here are some spiritual, mindful tools to help with the healing heart's irrigation.

Christ used a parable comparing his destiny to the death of a seed.
It needed to die to grow into its purpose that we, too, must heed.

Faith and sense of purpose are the driving forces to make our lives anew.
Once this is planted in our thoughts we can start to mark how much we grew.

There is much needed work to make our mind's garden grow graciously, too.
A starting point is in looking in the mirror, accepting what has made us blue.

Just like spilled milk and a cat out of the bag, it was done.
There is a way to rewrite our story to suit some healing and have some fun!

No longer accept what happened as an end, but as a beginning from it.
By doing so we lift our minds out of the mire of a mental, punishing pit.

Since there is a season for this, it may take some more time for us than others.
Be kind to ourselves, and try to see the beauty in our sisters and brothers.

There is a waiting period before we can start to plant and pluck up, per say.
During this time in our mind's masked cocoon we need to persistently pray.

If we do not give up and press forward, our time will come to pluck.
Prayer will send a Savior (with sanity in hand) while we are still stuck.

One surprising day (after following this sacred plan) we can laugh once more.
Joy and dancing will fill our hearts when giving gratitude to our God we adore.
