Essence of Time

As time passes it swiftly moves forward without cost,
when it travels through your life it  seems as yesterday.
Morning comes and afternoon follows, thereafter, evening prompts.
The slow yet rapid moments come and go by everyday,
filled with sadness, joy, strength, accomplishments and much more.

Their are satisfactions as their is dreams not met, but
when there is time left we need to press on.
Everything is important in life and we need to do the best we can.
You and I are still here.  Go for it and believe in what tomorrow will bring.

We face many challenges that we need to achieve.
Each man and woman has a story to tell in the book of life.
Time is on our side everyday that we are blessed with a new day.
Go forward I say, go forward and make history your own.

We are important to the lives of others and time caresses our days.
Impact others with your life and with your service.
Make good impressions through the good actions you give.
Be unique, special and wonderful for you are like no other.

You see, we were made by love, he who is our author.
Our uniqueness comes from the hands of holiness.
You and I are made of a most special molding and
we have been given time to prove that we are worthy.

For we all have God on our side and no other can be as he.
We were made in his image to spread love, peace and hope.
We survive with the time given so give it your best shot.
Time is of essence and the fragrance to time in your life is you.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
