Time Collab With Jo

Every moment is fleeting fast The present will soon become past God has gifted this time to man To live and use for a short span Our clock slowly ticking away Minutes and seconds not to stay What's done for God is eternal Infinite gift in life's journal Each page but a moment in time As we draw nearer to sublime for as the sea, time's waves are vast quickly moving, eroding past We can't save time, nor we it save Our mighty ego we will waive When our purpose we have fulfilled Time will recede, at last be stilled. April 6, 2023 for "Collab With Jo poetry contest" by Joanna Daniel

Ann, this poem has the dynamic energy of the waves and tides flowing in a perpetual rhythm!! I love the exceptional line "what's done for God is eternal!" What a beautiful and inspiring thought my friend! Congratulations on your win! So happy for you. I can't help but think of Queen Esther's quote - "born for such a time as this!" Blessings!!

Dear Sam, Thank you for your wonderful comments! I must point out that it was a collab with Joanna Daniel and she wrote the lovely line, "what's done for God is eternal," altho I agree. Thank you for the blessings.
