Time We Are Always Wasting

?Time We Are Always Wasting



Do you think that I would be teasing;

God brings bright minds together for a reason

Not just to be passed up or simply ignored

But our magnificent minds be further explored.



Much more further analysis we will need

Compare the Apostles with Nicene Creed

When I thought about and did further peruse

Which one would be the very best to use.



Of many songs which shall we sin today

Should I close my eyes when I begin to pray?

Or both of my eyes on others must be gluing

So I can see and understand what they are doing.



Why should to myself all of my poems I keep

On all of my poems lie down on and then sleep

Yet still be responsible person I am being

With great ideas well worth hearing and seeing.



Before I press on or present you with the rest

Must admit by God I have been greatly blessed

Instead of me taking a pounding and a pasting

We better get busy and our time is a wasting.
