Is There Still Time For Us

Is there still time for us? vs 1 I wake up to a sunrise, and a beautiful blue sky, so many questions unanswered I'm still left with the big why vs 2 I see that the earth still turns, we watch as our planet burns? will humans never learn? Is there still time for us? Chorus Is there still time for us? Haven't we seen enough? What happened to the way we cared Dear God, please have patience Listen to my earnest prayer! Vs 3 I look to the blackened space, I wish I could see your face, Our past cannot be re-traced I raise my eyes to the skies Vs 4 I'm sure that you're still there, Help me believe you still care, I'll follow you anywhere, Listen to my earnest prayer! Chorus Is there still time for us? Haven't we seen enough? What happened to the way we cared Dear God, please have patience Listen to my earnest prayer! Chorus Is there still time for us? Haven't we seen enough? What happened to the way we cared Dear God, please have patience Listen to my earnest prayer! Chorus repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton April 25,2021

I notice you have not put up new poems in a while but I have to say, this one I missed is REALLY great, John. I hope all is well with you.

Thanks for this... making me answer with, "by God's grace, there's still time for us to do His will." Thanks also for my placements in your two sponsored contests. God bless you.

I hope there is time enough. I guess for some, time is short. It is good to make the most of whatever time we are afforded.

A bit of melancholy in your question: is there still time? We don't always know but we certainly try. That is the message your chorus delivers ---as verses explore the complexity of mind probing unanswered questions. So well written! Hope you set this to music, John.

WoW! John, Your lyrics are always so relatable. I would like to believe that although mistakes have been made and bridges burned, one can still hope that things can get back to what they once were—these lyrics set to music would be a good song. Good job. Have a great day-Alexis

Thanks Lexi, this one just flowed out, strange as I haven't wrote anything in a while. So glad you enjoyed, hopefully I'll get the music done soon, still working on a few others.
