TIME

There is no beginning and no end.
There is time enough with God to spend.
For God was before and will be after
So there is time for tears, and time for laughter.
For all things on Earth there is a time
To rise and fall to fade and shine;
To walk through the pathways of their minds
With changing thought that time refines.
There is time to love and time to lose,
Time to accept and to refuse;
Time to dwell where lost loves are
And time to dream of distant stars…
And when we tire and sit and nod,
There’s time at last to be with God.
