There is a very famous poem by an anonymous writer who explains that different people come into our lives to serve different purposes.
Many of us can meet people in our lives and we might not be aware of why they have arrived or left, and it could take us a while to realise this.
People who have read this poem find it inspiring because it ultimately means that even if someone has left our life, it can have a positive influence in our lives and not one that is only negative.
Below is the poem below. After you’ve read this, pick a few different people in your life and find out whether they are a Season, Reason or a Lifetime.
Reason
If someone is a Reason, it can mean that you met them because you needed to learn an important lesson in some way or another. For example:
– You may have dated or been friends with someone who treated you badly but made you realise that you deserve better. Now you might have a completely different outlook on relationships and might have a frame of mind that never lets you settle for being second best. Learning this type of lesson could make you have more confidence and self respect, strengthening your future partnerships with people you meet.
– A friend you valued may have been and gone in your life for no bitter reason. If you look back at who you were before you met them, it could reveal a lot about how they have influenced who you are today. Your friend may have gotten you involved in a hobby or an interest of theirs that has shaped your career and lifestyle. Friends can empower us, even if we don’t know it yet if a friend is no longer a close one, it’s probably because they were meant to introduce you to something important.
– In your life, you may have met someone who has acted as a teacher or guide, such as professor at University or an acquaintance that you once looked up to. This person may have passed down their wisdom, giving you lots of valuable advice to take with you on your journey towards happiness.
Many of us remember a certain teacher at school who taught us a lot more than school subjects.
These people are often excellent at solving problems that younger people do not have an understanding of yet. Even decades after they are no longer in your life, you may still think about them with a smile on your face.
Season
If someone is a Season, it can mean that you met them because they were meant to help shape your personality and individuality into what it is today.
– Many of us will have that friend that changes the way we see ourselves. If you’ve had a friend who is very free spirited, you may have learnt to not take yourself too seriously and have more fun in life. Before them arriving on the scene, you may have ran away from being spontaneous in life and been anxious about many different things. All of us go through periods of personal growth and this can be because of an individual who have helped us become the person we were really meant to be.
– You may have had a very loving, deep relationship with someone for years. This person may not be in your life anymore.
Before meeting this person, you may have been someone who hid their feelings to the point of being cold. However after falling in love with this person, they may have taught you how be an open person, instead of shutting people off.
On the other hand, an ending to a relationship could have been your fault which has taught you to look deeply at your attitude towards others for a positive change.
– There may have been someone you have only been in contact with for a couple of months or weeks, such as a time of travelling. This person could have been responsible for how your life has changed for the future. For example, meeting this person may have encouraged you to travel more or take a different path, changing what you have wanted for your career, relationships and family life.
Lifetime
If someone is a Lifetime, it can mean that this person is here to stay in your life for a very, very long time.
– This could be an ex-partner who you have children with. This relationship might teach you how to respect others and be civil for the sake of your family, regardless of any arguments in the past.
Ex-partners are often seen as negative, yet they can actually become a friendship if both people understand that the romantic aspect was not meant to last. There are many ex-partners that wish each other well in life and this could be a great way to learn how to forgive and move on without completely banning someone from your life.
– Many of us will have family members that will be in our lives for many decades. These people could see us grow from being very young to old, developing our personalities and strengths throughout life’s challenges.
People such as parents, aunties, grandparents and other mature relatives will be excellent at guiding you towards happiness because they know your personality so well and will often have your best interest at heart.
– We could be lucky enough to have friends that stick by our side for years and years. Many people will have high school friends that still show up at their birthday parties well into their 50s. These Lifetime people are excellent because it shows that even though we all change, we can still be very well matched to certain people and experience important life events together.
– Finally, this person could be a long term partner who have taught you how to accept yourself and love who you are.
This type of person is one that many of us want in our lives to be our happiest selves. If you meet a partner who is a Lifetime, you will most likely experience life changing events with them, such as moving in together, getting married and having children. You might see this person as the “Love of your life” which is wonderful and who knows, you might grow old (gracefully) with them!

Someone sent me this poem and I thought what a beautiful thing it is, made me think about people in my life who have been in my life and then left, some helpful others toxic some just used me to get want they wanted, but in the end you learn from there less helpfully demands or self persistence. Other teaching you what you need for tomorrow. Looking back yes a season a reason and a lifetime is what these relationships are. It had made me move on and put something behind me. It’s true life can send a curve ball but iwe ask for help and an Angel comes in the form of a person to help guide us they may not stay for long but this helps us to move on and remember the lessons whether good or bad or heart breaking we can all see that in the end it’s just life shaping you, the person who wrote the poem omg your invite is spot on.
Well I’d like help in figuring out what my soul mate was as he has not long passed away and I’d always have said he was my lifetime and he is the love of my life so what happened

Wow this poem came to me in a letter from my Daughter I love the words of Wisdom, Recognizing,and Acknowledging s Relation.
I just came across this poem. Very insightful. I have always thought of relationships as seasons. Because people come and people go just like the Seasons.. I shared this with my good friend of ten years and we both agreed that is is a well written publication. Thank you!

I ran across a portion of this poem the other day and it touched me. Just ended a Reason relationship two weeks ago, and now understand why. I’ve been fortunate to have the Season and Lifetime relationships, too. The poem makes perfect sense, after the fact! Now that I’ve found it, will keep it up front.
This is a poem I heard when I was in treatment back in 04 and it has stuck with me over the years. When I’m going through a rough patch in my life, as I am know, I refer back to it and reflect on my situation. It helps me see the good parts on my relationship and why this person is currently in my life despite the negative qualities. This person has brought me joy and has helped me through some difficult times in which I am forever grateful. They have helped me become a better person and a better parent. However, I think the reason/season they came back into my life is over and it’s time for me to move on.
Last year, I was contacted by the husband of a school friend I had not seen for 25 years although we had kept in touch with Christmas cards. He left me a voice mail message to say she was dying & in a hospice. He was in great need, so I responded & went to visit her on her 73 birthday. She was bright eyed & reminisced and laughed with me about the happy times we’d had together as children. We had been very close for a few years when she was catapulted into our school in Wales from London. She was a Londoner, friendless, disorientated in a different culture. Three years later she left & went back to London.
Suddenly she asked me if I still sang as I had done as a child. I said I did so she asked me to sing. I did this , in the hospice & the nurses came to listen as my friend smiled with tears in her eyes. It was a special moment. Ten days letter Aweek or so later, she died & I went to her funeral at her husband’s request & sang the song again.
I did not realise until I saw her on her birthday, that I had had such a big impact on her life, Rather than thinking about this poem from my own point of view, it caused me to reflect upon it from the other angle of being the pebble in the pool causing ripples for others.
I’m currently going through a divorce myself. Throughout the process, I was introduced to an amazing man who not only brought me back from the dead, as one might say, but helped me become the person I am now. We dated for a while and even today, I struggle trying to figure out what went wrong. You see, he said and did all the right things. He showed and gave me exactly what I was missing in my marriage and even though I was not emotionally ready to get involved, I gave this man the opportunity. Yes, I was let down and broken when he ended our relationship. I didn’t understand why but up until a couple of days ago, I came across this poem and not only did I cry while reading it but it made so much sense. This man, this amazing young man, was my reason. Just as the poem states, he came into a period of my life to assist me through my difficulties. He gave me guidance and support in all aspects; physically, emotionally and even spiritually. He really was a Godsend. And yes, just like that, without a warning and no wrongdoing, he ended our relationship. He walked away and even though I miss him dearly, I can now understand why he was a reason. God sent him to fill my need and fulfill my desires as the poem states. This man’s work was done and I will forever be grateful for him. He will always have a place in my heart. He gave me peace in a world full of chaos.
Everyone came into my life for a reason and a season. The people I know now have only been around for five months. The longest anyone has ever stayed was 22 years and it ended viciously. No one not even family has been around for more than 15 years. This was confusing to me as a child, but now at 62 I know why it has been this way. I know why things happened in my life and what caused them to happen. So I am good with all this now. Recently two people that I lost contact with when I was a teenager have come back into my life after 40 something years.
Someone shared this email around 1998-1999 & it so stayed with me as I encounter different relationship challenges amongst friends, family & colleagues. There is a powerful message for each of us.
In addition, I now realize that sometimes a person no longer serves you”
AFTER 20 YRS SOMEONE CAME INTO MY LIFE AGAIN, I MET HIM 35 YRS AGO THEN 8 YRS LATER BUT WAS’NT INTERESTED NOW AFTER 20 YRS WE RE CONNECTED RE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM, THE ONLY THING IS I AM MARRIED, ME AND MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LED A VERY ROCKY MARRIAGE VERBAL ABUSIVE AT TIMES AND ALCOHOL, ANYWAYS THIS PERSON CAME BACK INTO MY LIFE AND I SEPARATED FROM MY HUSBAND, THIS PERSON MADE ME FEEL GREAT UNTIL HE HURT ME AGAIN.. ME N MY HUSBAND ARE OFF AND ON HE HAS CHANGED SOMEWHAT, BUT I ACTUALLY AM VERY IN LOVE WITH THE PERSON THAT CAME BACK INTO MY LIFE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HE IS ALSO NOT GOOD FOR ME IN CERTAIN WAYS. HE IS VERY ATTENTIVE BUT HE DOES TALK TO OTHER WOMEN AND TEXTES WHILE HI IS WITH ME, HE DOES TAKE PLACE MY HUSBAND NEVER DID AND DOES THINGS WITH ME . I LOVE BOTH OF THEM, SO I ASK MY SELF WHY DID THIS PERSON COME INTO MY LIFE I ACTUALLY ASK GOD THE SAME QUESTION, I KEEP ASKING GOD TO GET HIM OUT OF MY LIFE BUT HE DOES’NT GO AWAY. DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO…
i just met a gentleman (in his late years) who shared this poem with me …. just less than a month after parting ways from a 6+ year relationship …. and part of me understands & part of me is still figuring stuff out…
it is definitely a very true & meaningful message
Awesome lesson learned I shall keep this close to heart and mind.
Looking back at my life thus far this is so very true.
Thanks, Steven!
the author of this poem is Danielle Atkins in Ontario Canada..
