A Time For Everything 1
A time to be born
To attend the school of life
To learn atonement
A time to know death
To pass into dimensions
Of love, joy and peace
A time to plant seed
In the womb and in the ground
Propagating life
A time to harvest
Expressed manifestations
Of nature's design
A time for killing
Diseases and evil deeds
Which undermine good
