Turn, Turn, Turn

Turn, turn, turn,

when the good we do is more important than the best we might become

there is a time to help

and a time to withold from helping

there is a time to seek help

and a way to dig deeper into what is really needed

there is a time to give

and a time to withold from giving

there is a time to receive

and a way to invite gifts that are hidden

there is a time to tell my story

and a time to withold from telling

there is a time to ask

and a way to ask further deeper questions

there is a time to plan

and a time to withold from planning

there is a time to wonder

and a way to wonder with strangers who might just be

the angels of tomorrow’s hoping

there is time

and there is an urgency

so take the time to put the asking, listening, wondering, receiving first

so that the helping, giving, telling, planning happens together

with the strangers who hold the keys

to the kingdom sought

and so easily missed

when the good we do is more important than the best we might become
