When Time Is Too Short

So Many things we want to say so many things to do But in this life we're held by time the minutes and hours are few We take for granted there is tomorrow though tomorrow may never come We miss precious time we have been given the clock ticks as a timeless drum God gave us all selected days what we do in that time is ours will we make each moment count for good or let it pass as dried up flowers? We've seen how precious time can be how quickly a life can end Did we give that one our deepest love do we feel at peace within? No matter what has happened in our life No matter the mistakes we've made From this moment on, this tick of the clock make the minutes count today Tomorrow is never promised to us goodbye is a heart beat away The moments we have, so precious to others make them count in a life today For what will they say when our time is done will they miss how we made them feel? Will your life live on deep in their souls? and know your love was real? Oh Time, Oh Time its ticking away as an enemy or a friend. Its a gift we are given from God above make it count in the love you send.
