What’s the time?

Well, it’s much later then you think!

What is time anyway,

Do you ever give it much thought?

Is it the clock on the wall,

Silently ticking away?

A day with God, is as a thousand years,

In spite of our smiles and tears!

Without the sun and the moon,

We would never know one day from the other.

And, without sleep,

We would never recover!

The cycle of life, measures our existence,

Against which, there is no resistance.

Prophecy, foretells the end of time,

How many are interested?

The majority continue on, with the ridiculous and sublime.

Yes, time is measured in a certain way.

Have you considered how,

You will use yours today?
