Ecclesiastes 3:1

New English Translation

A Time for All Events in Life

3 For everything, there is an appointed time,

and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

Look at you so beautifully framed for Everlasting

Time has disappeared somewhere in the background

I don’t know what to say as my heart is gasping

To understand the way of truth, that still is around

Little now seems sensible as I’m looking over my shoulder

The path I walked seems faded and the scenery has gone

Memories long-forgotten within a day after it was molded

With things more important like children and the setting sun

I don’t want to be indifferent, really I hunger for the sensitive

But daily responsibilities are molding and forcing “my” time

For me to choose and invest trying to be the most productive

Although my heart seems shaded in this small world of mine
