My Watch

I have this watch I wear That gives the time of day Can also see the time of night Because the face illuminates One thing that it doesn't That I wish it would Is remind me of the time That I should spend with you You see I get so busy Lord I barely have time to think Living this life day to day As if it were on the brink If I continue at this pace I'm not sure I will survive Is this what they meant when I heard them say This is the time of your life I'm going to do my best to slow down With your help Lord I'll figure out What's most important in this life And give the rest a long time out So I'm taking the battery out of this watch To remind me every hour of every day To stop what it is I'm doing And take the time to kneel and pray

So I'm taking the battery out of this watch To remind me every hour of every day To stop what it is I'm doing And take the time to kneel and pray...Nice thoughts;)
