Make time, before u run out of time....

A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to read, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.....

I think that this poem is amazing in it simplicity. We get so involved in our daily lives, that we seldom stop, look up into the sky and appreciate the patterns that the clouds make,gaze at the stars on a clear night, or the color of the sky just before sunset. If we truly want to live life to the fullest, enjoy every minute of being alive, healthy (even if u not wealthy) and give Thanks to the Al-Mighty for granting u with one more day, so that u may smile at a person who is on the verge of crying, give a helping hand to those in need, and provide a shoulder and be a friend to someone that is buried in a sorrow so deep, that nothing seems important to them anymore...
yet, we only worry about ourselves, and in this rat-race of life, we don't stop and say THANK YOU to the people that love and care for us, instead, we curse and complain over the people that are not worthy of our love.....
