A Time for Everything


In life, there's a time for everything A time to laugh, a time to grief A time to run, a time to walk A time to listen, a time to talk A time to give, a time to take A time to buy, a time to pay A time to sing, a time to pray A time to cry, a time to rejoice A time to smile, a time to be in sorrow A time to forgive, a time to forget A time to love, a time to hate A time to joke, a time to be serious A time to send, a time to receive A time to sleep, a time to wake up A time to ask, a time to answer A time to lead, a time to follow A time to teach, a time to learn A time to scream, a time to be silent Life is a time to remember
