Precious Time

Time is a treasure , 
Significant and Precious . 
Time is flowing sand , 
Something we can't hold in hand .

How precious is time , 
To waste it is a crime .
Time is a powerful tool , 
If you misuse it , you are a fool . 

An inch of time , is an inch of gold , 
We are always told .
But once you waste it , 
You'll not be able to freely sit .

Given enough time , we will all turn to dust ,
Cars , trains and ships will all rust .
To return to the earth from where they all came , 
With passage of time , nothing remains quite same .

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. 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." Be blessed.
