Array ( [sid] => 169675 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Time to Choose [time] => 2011-12-27 00:12:45 [hometext] => This is a short poem about one of the the Greatest of Freedoms we have in this world, Freedom to Choose! So don't overlook it! [bodytext] => There is a time for love, you have the freedom to choose
there is a time for hate, but you will be forced to abuse
there is a time for peace, where differences are put aside
a time to even the score, differences that now lead to war

There is a time to laugh, because your heart has been tickled
and a time to cry, you, having been made emotionally crippled
a time to sigh, when you tire from having to fight the entire world
a time to die, when to that beautiful light your soul will be hurled

There is a time to choose, the time is unquestionably now
there is a time to negate, when your sin you wish to disavow
there is a time to confuse, to escape from those who are cruel
a time to stay at home, undesirables waiting for you at school

There is a time to run, because you can no longer hide from fear
and a time to hide, when your fear has overcome, it is very near
a time to have fun, the only way to drive worry from your mind
and a place for time to abide, now that evil has been put behind

A time to choose, defining your outlook on life, all people are brothers
having the ability to foresee consequences, our actions have on others
the element of hope has real meaning, those wishing life, if they choose
by reaching deep inside their hearts, and upon us their love they infuse

2Bpositive is good. 2Cpositive is even better!
I CHOOSE now as my time to say I enjoyed
your paraphrasing of the Bible in relation to
times of seasons, in the same way the Turtles
did in the 60's/ Your message is timeless.
Blessings,
Robert Edgar Burns (Rob)
