Turn Turn Turn

Jilda's brother who we visited on Friday took a turn for the worse and passed away early Saturday morning.
Her brother had two kids, three grand kids and two great grand kids...the last great grand child was born a few months ago. At the funeral home tonight I started thinking about the song made popular by the Byrds. The words come from the Bible and the music was written by Pete Seger. It's one of my all time favorite songs and it seems appropriate at this time.

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late
