A Time For Everything

There’s a time to be born, a time to mourn, a time to laugh and cry,
A time for happiness, a time for sadness and even a time to die.
A time to sleep, a time to wake up, a time for work or school,
A time to think, a time to gain knowledge, a time to stop acting the fool.
A time for concern, a time to learn, a time to improve your mind,
A time to be thoughtful, a time to be friendly, there’s always time to be kind.
A time to sit, a time to walk, a time to jog or run,
A time to focus on your goals, a time to have some fun.
A time to be self-conscious without acting pompous,
A time to pay attention and ignore all the nonsense,
A time to be honest, a time to be modest, a time to fight for human rights,
A time to stand up for your beliefs, a time to reach new heights.
A time to win, a time to choose, a time to share your views,
There’s no time like the present, so hurry there’s no time to lose.
