TIME
TIME
time is of the essence they say
snug and warm and tucked away
in the security of a god who answers only a few
with a furtive nod and soul anew
time is all we have to give
to a lover a friend our life to live
and though we search we do not see
time used for folly is not free
the Father watches with a marveling eye
as we laugh and play as time goes by
never giving a second thought
to the price of time or the battles fought
to give this priceless gift away
a moment an hour the passing day
we use our time for selfish gain
but not a bauble will remain
when the final trumpet sounds the call
and time will not exist at all
