In All Mankind

There is a time to be born, live and die. Fate and fortune mankind cannot defy. A time to plant, harvest, recycle all over again. A time to love, to disagree, or move away. A time to embrace, a time to accept your loss. A time to weep, to laugh, enjoy your life. A time to kill, a time to love and heal. A time to retreat, think positive, go upbeat. A time for war, a time for peace and jaw-jaw. A time to worry, fret and sigh. A time to think positive, never quit you must try. A time to dismiss, to heal with a loving kiss. A time to harvest, a time to plough and sow. A time to dare, a time to take extra care. A time to admit you are wrong, a time to put it right. A time to grieve, a time to think happy and dance. A time to survive rain, ice, and snow. A time to bathe in the sun shines warm glow. A time to pray, a time to meditate and play. A time to love the world and reach for the stars. A time to accept what you have got, and what you are. Life is short, given once only to each woman and man, Enjoy your life, share your happiness whenever you can.
