A time for everything in life
A time to start, a time to finish
A time to begin, a time to end

A time to come, a time to go
A time to go back, a time to U-turn
A time to think, a time to blink

A time to pull, a time to push
A time to be young, a time to be old
A time to grow, a time to mature

A time to work, a time to rest
A time to lead, a time to follow
A time to vacate, a time to resume

A time to read, a time to write
A time to talk, a time to listen
A time to learn, a time to train

A time to wait
A time to attack
A time to retreat

A time to hold, a time to release
A time to escape, a time to catch
A time to rebuke, a time to commend

A time to disagree, a time to agree
A time to postpone, a time to do
A time of confusion, a time of clarity

A time to crash, a time to rise
A time to cry, a time to laugh
A time to mourn, a time to celebrate

A time to roast, a time to chill
A time to beg, a time to brag
A time to worry, a time to calm

A time of strife, a time of peace
A time of stress, a time of relief
A time of shortage, a time of plenty

A time to complain, a time to pray
A time to doubt, a time to believe
A time to curse, a time to bless

A time to frown, a time to smile
A time to offend, a time to forgive
A time of crisis, a time of thanksgiving

A time of fear, a time of courage
A time of weakness, a time of strength
A time of conflict, a time of resolution

A time to be idle, a time to be active
A to oppose, time a time to propose
A time to be sad, a time to be happy

A time to critic, a time to praise
A time to say no, a time to say yes
A time to question, a time to answer

A time to lose, a time to gain
A time to fail, a time to succeed
A time of defeat, a time to win

A time to sow, a time to reap
A time to give, a time to receive
A time to decrease, a time to increase

A time to defend, a time to attack
A time off-season, a time of season
A time to be negative, a time to be positive

A time to hide, a time to mingle
A time to stand, a time to run
A time to suffer, a time to enjoy

A time of quiet-time, a time of busy-time
A time of half-time, a time of full-time
A time of extra-time, a time of end-time

A time to read stories
A time to tell stories
Take out time, engage stories

A time for stories is now
The place is Great Storytelling Network
