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

Time pulls together the curtains
No life force it thereby retains
We are driven into the night
We cease to search, inquire and fight

God has given us equal time
It's not an attribute of clime
Young minds don’t understand its worth
They end up trudging back and forth

Congratulations on your win Thompson. Indeed time is precious and fleeting. I think you are right in your observation that in youth we often squander its treasure. Blessings to you.
