Treasured Seasons

For everything there is
   an appointed season.
And a time for everything
   under heaven -
A time for sharing;
   a time for caring.
A time for loving;
   a time for giving.
A time for remembering;
   a time for parting.
You have made everything
   beautiful in its time
For everything You do
   remains forever.
