A Time To Live

a time to live a time to die a time to laugh a time to cry a time to mourn they that died a time to remember times we laughed and cried who can recall the fullness of life the time when the fruit they say has turned ripe then time to harvest weather happy or sad they pick the fruit and put it in a bag it may be prepared for a wonderful feast or preserved for latter when the harvest is weak but to rot on the vine is a waste of Gods time and sinful where usefullness was only deceit have they been missed by the harvesters hand perhapes left for gleening their second chance but rot on the vine is the devils delight give nothing to anyone and stay out of sight the time to give is waning fast we're constantly ageing with lives that won't last opportunity soon becomes a thing of the past but the best come forth giving what they have it seem's at times that they are taken from us our gentle lambs we love and trust but by Glory they are saved for a greater day in the fullness of life they went away from a time to live and a time to die to a time to die and a time to live
