Time We Are Always Wasting

?Time We Are Always Wasting Do you think that I would be teasing; God brings bright minds together for a reason Not just to be passed up or simply ignored But our magnificent minds be further explored. Much more further analysis we will need Compare the Apostles with Nicene Creed When I thought about and did further peruse Which one would be the very best to use. Of many songs which shall we sin today Should I close my eyes when I begin to pray? Or both of my eyes on others must be gluing So I can see and understand what they are doing. Why should to myself all of my poems I keep On all of my poems lie down on and then sleep Yet still be responsible person I am being With great ideas well worth hearing and seeing. Before I press on or present you with the rest Must admit by God I have been greatly blessed Instead of me taking a pounding and a pasting We better get busy and our time is a wasting. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet and Member of St. James Vestry
