24 Hours of Power

24 Hours of Power By Curtis Johnson He was strong, loving, and merciful, and he was God He made a beautiful world when everything was void It was He who sat on a throne and gave valuable gifts to all The red, yellow, brown, black, and white; the short and the tall He gave allotments of shares in packages of twenty-four Lose not, waste not, as so many others have done before Take your God given shares and respect them highly Invest your God given hours and use them wisely 24 hours per day; to live, to laugh, to care, to share, to learn, to love So, treasure your package of twenty-four as long as you live Your priceless measure is fixed; no more can He give Sail the oceans wide, or climb the highest mountain; the choice is ours. We may descend the deepest sea; or build the highest tower. In the time allotted, we excel or fail; we have the power. cj08102015 Curtis Johnson
