Time that is Given

January 9, 2014

There is a time to laugh, a time to cry,

A time to dream and a time to sigh.

The days pass all the same sometimes it feels like it only rains.

There is a time for silence and a time to sing,

To look forward to what tomorrow brings.

When rough waters crash around you remember to do the best with the time that is given.

For this is a strange, harsh world we live in.
