Strands In the Rhythm of Time

I believe there is a rhythm in time
which encompasses our days.
In it...each moment retains all of our emotional ways.

I see it in the heavens above
when Nature has dealt us the storms in life.
Rainbow sky... that we will not always deal with strife.

I hear it when I go fishing
water ever quiet and moving on.
Sometimes I catch a fish...another time it is gone.

It is like the friend I know
always ready to give me cheer.
Especially in times...when I need something fresh to hear.

I spend too much time in frivolity
without realizing how much of it I burn.
Time spent is gone...never to return.

Time is a gift from God
which we should acknowledge ever still.
His Son became one of us...to show us the better nature of man's will.

We can look forward to life everlasting
as He has our time in His hand.
Our stay here is not forever...but only a tiny strand

Diane, since I haven't written for a long time, I would ask that you give me your opinion on my poem "BREAD OF LIFE". It would be most appreciated. Dan
