For everything there is a season...

...and a time for every matter under heaven

a time to be born - Chole Rose and Thomas Burke

and a time to die - my dear Great Auntie Eileen

a time to plant - my dear children

and a time to pluck up - the weeds in my garden

a time to kill - spiders in the bathroom

and a time to heal - a grazed knee

a time to break down - the walls around me

and a time to build up - Spiritually

a time to weep - with those who are weeping

and a time to laugh - at Pete's jokes

a time to mourn - for the poverty/inequality and injustice in this world

and a time to dance - with my boys in the living room

a time to cast away stones - my past

and a time to gather stones together - new memories

a time to embrace - my loved ones

and a time to refrain from embracing - people who don't see it coming!

a time to seek - the truth

and a time to lose - my keys!

a time to keep - my treasured possessions

and a time to cast away - the clutter in my house

a time to tear - my hair out!

and a time to sew - a hole in a sock

a time to keep silence - in loyalty to a friend

and a time to speak - in honesty

a time to love - my neighbour

and a time to hate - myself

a time for war - against my flesh

and a time for peace - with my heart
