Time Enough

There's always time enough, but never enough time. What do I do no matter the cost What is the value of the time I've lost ? Time is not a thing to waste As I've clearly come to face. I do some things and then some more, But neer keep up the pace. Let me fill this space that I call time With Nobel deeds of grand design Small or large maybe sublime, But surely not a waste of time. The most precious thing in life seems clear It's lost time not possessions that I most fear. So now I plan to manage mine And pray it's not a waste of time

Ray, how very true it is. One minute we have all the time in the world; the next, it’s never enough. You expressed it so well.
