Time Collab With Jo

Jo's part 

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 

My part 

The things you do define your fate 
Act right now or you will be late 
Time held so wrong is wasted gold 
Make sure you make the proper hold 

So make your every moment rhyme 
So precious is the tick of time 
For, you can't take back the things done 
Some things lost are forever gone
