To everything there is a season
A time to dream, a time to pray
A time to learn and store up wisdom
A time to meet, and smile, and love
A time to bond, a time to grow
A time to conceive, a time to bare,
To nourish, cheer, and praise
A time to reprimand for choices wrong
To kiss skinned knees and to rhymes give song
A time to let your children go
To pray for them, a time to feel their pain.
A time for dark manes, a time for gray
A time for health, for strengthened bones
A time for pain, a time to groan.
A time to weaken, fall on knees,
A time of need, a time to lean,
A time to bend as willows, low,
And on your life reflect
A time to slow, to sit, to think,
A time to breath once more,
A time to bury earthly life
A time to hasten home.
