Poem

Life!,Time?

It’s said: "Life is short,"

Like the "Passing of time;"

It’s all in an attitude,

As though it were mime.

A day is an eternity,

When sorrow abounds;

But only a moment,

When true love is found;

Time then is relative,

Just as a point of view;

A day may mean nothing,

If nothing is due.

Life is not measured,

With days, months and years;

But true life is measured,

In blood, sweat and tears.

Life is as involvement,

Where the "water-hits-the-wheel;"

To serve is a privilege,

If we only will.

God will not reward us,

For how long we serve;

But only for faithfulness,

And that’s all we deserve.

It’s by grace, our salvation;

By God’s mercy and love.

And the bountiful blessings,

That awaits us above!
