Time the Toughest Taskmaster of All

Time to think but not to sink
Time to reflect but not to neglect.

Time to work but not to shirk,
Time to play but not to stray.

Time to share but not to despair,
Time to look but not to block.

Time to help but not to yelp,
Time to Listen but not to stiffen.

Time to read but not bleed,
Time to talk but not to gawk.

Time to love but not to shove,
Time to hope but not to elope.
