Time

Time is like a ribbon, That binds us in the package of life. It holds the smiles, the joys, the laughter, The struggles and the strife. Time is like a rainbow, Forever crescent overhead. Its gentle hues will still remain, Long after we are dead. Time is like a quiet stream, Flowing o'er the land. Its course cannot be altered by us, Nor is it at our command. Time is like a companion, As we on our journey go. It treads the highways with us, To help us learn what we should know. Time is like a purse full of coins, Each day to spend as we will. So spend each day wisely, For the purse cannot be refilled. All time is a gift from our Creator, Whose love for us is shown ever still. He sent His Son to spend time as one of us, To enlighten and strengthen our will. Time with Him is everlasting, So as we travel through life let us say... "Thank you, Lord, for sharing this time with us", As we await the dawning of our everlasting day.

There is a lot of beautiful thoughts that you put in here with regards to time, Dan. I really like the similes that you incorporated here, gives one a better understanding of time, and the truth of how to use it wisely, and of how we also must spend time with God. Thank you. Also, thank you so much for passing by my post, and finding it worthwhile to read. I get what you mean of that regret of not having been able to write for some time. You write things that make one wonder, I'm glad to read.

Thank you, binibining. That was a difficult time for me and I could have gone over to the "Dark Side" because of the inability to even get share my thoughts. I appreciate your read and comments.
