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.

Sam Kauffman Date: 5/2/2023 9:39:00 AM 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!!
