  A time for love,
a time for hate.
  A time for peace,
and a time for war.
  A time to gather,
and a time to scatter.
  A time to embrace,
and a time not to embrace.
  A time for laughing and a
time for dancing.
  A time for gaining and a
time for losing.
  A time to lend a shoulder
and a time to lean on one.
(if anyone has a title please post it)

How about Ecclesiastes 3:1-8?

quote:
1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

There is nothing wrong with borrowing inspiration from previous writings if you are careful to give credit where credit is due and make an application of it that is clearly your own.

I agree, this sounds like the passage from Ecclesiates. Great work at interpreting it in another format, but it needs to be credited as to where it was found. It seems to me as this work is just put together in a different order than the passage from Ecclesiates. Try to work on more of a paraphrase of the Biblical passage, rather than an unordered quote. Great passage to quote, though!

"Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels guide thee to thy rest."
-William Shakespeare, in "Hamlet"
