Most everyone has heard King Solomon's wise words from Ecclesiastes chapter 3 or the Seeker's version in a song in the 70's :"A Time for every purpose Under Heaven".


A Fixed Time

You ask me to wait, but teach me to know
When to step out and when to be slow;
Knowing inside me when to sit still
to hear the sweet bird on my window sill.

Zoya Zaidi
And the sweet bird will come and tell you
When to stay and when to go
When to fly and when to go slow
Life is the sweet bird of your soul!

(((Hugs dear Betsy for the words of wisdom!)))
Love, Zoya

am surprised at how brief is the piece but can tell so much
marvellous as always.

Yes, I think they did a mimic of the Seekers, didn't they? Thanks, Rob!

And what about "Turn, Turn, Turn" by--appropriately enough!--the Byrds? (They sang well, but not exactly sweetly...) Nice write!
