Time For Everything
: Everyday Verses: Boys And Girls Bookshelf
There's a time to run and a time to walk;
There's a time for silence, a time for talk;
There's a time for work and a time for play;
There's a time for sleep at the close of day.
There's a time for everything you do,
For children and for grown-ups, too.
A time to stand up and a time to sit,--
But see that the time and actions fit.
