The Seasons

For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.

     a time to be born and a time to die;

     a time to plant and a time to take up what is planted;

     a time to kill and a time to heal;

     a time to break down and a time to build up;

     a time to weep and a time to laugh;

     a time to mourn and a time to dance;

     a time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones together;

     a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;

     a time to seek and a time to lose;

     a time to keep and a time to throw away;

     a time to tear and a time to sew;

     a time to keep silence and a time to speak;

     a time to love and a time to hate;

     a time for war and a time for peace....
