Ray Zottola Poet Lyric

Time Enough

There's always time enough, 
but never enough time.
What do I do no matter the cost
What is the value of the time I've lost ?

Time is not a thing to waste 
As I've clearly come to face
I do some things and then some more,
But neer  keep up the pace.

Let me fill this space that I call time
With Nobel deeds of grand design
Small or large maybe sublime,
But surely not a waste of time.

The most precious thing in life seems clear
It's lost time not possessions that I most fear.

So now I plan to manage mine 
And pray it's not a waste of time
