Use Time Wisely

Lord, Amid my hurry and my haste, let me be slow but time not waste. For time, is yours alone to give, I must use it wisely while I live. Time, is like an arrow once let fly, that makes it's way across the sky. Retrieve I can't, once it is gone, nor can I save or to others loan. For the time remaining allotted me, may it be used dear Lord, for thee. That as in life where ere I wander, time given me I will not squander.

Time... fleeting for some & long-lived for others. At any rate, you never know which your life consists of. Love the title & the message.

Tom this is wonderful. And something we all take for granted at some point or another.
