.....To Every...Man.....A Season - There's.......A Reason Poem by James B. Earley

The San Francisco
I came to later know...
My wealth of friendships
'Twasn't always....so

Little money...but trust
....In God's unknown
Aboard Greyhound Bus
From my Illinois home

Not a single...soul
....Did.....I know
That October afternoon
.....Six-decades...ago

From my Bay Bridge view
.....I stared...in awe
A stunning recollection
....Of when...I first saw

The San Francisco...
Later I came to know
Treasured....friendships
....'Twasn't...always...so

Not....a single soul
.....Did....I know
That sunny afternoon
......Six......decades ago
*
*
There's a reason
......To every man....a season
................There's.........a reason
