Sixty Seconds

Sixty Seconds 

By: Ricky Jones 

 

I have only just a minute 

Only sixty seconds in it, 

Forced upon me, can’t refuse it, 

Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it, 

But it’s up to me – to use it, 

I must suffer if I lose it, 

Give account if I abuse it, 

Just a tiny little minute 

But eternity is destiny in it.
