Time


Time, so precious it is as gold
Time, when abused can harm ones soul
Time when given do hold it safe
For time that has passed
Is gone forever
Don’t rush through your day
That you feel wasted
That tiredness will consume you
And the stresses heaped upon
A soul travelling only momentarily
What’s it all about?
Begone the negative aspects of worldly goods
Chase not for the sake of consumption
With the assumption
That all the material wealth
We leave behind
Better make haste and secure
What wealth cannot buy
A peaceful heart, a good natured temperament
A bright, cheery smile
A sincere intention
Your good health and your happiness
Lie in your ability to think clearly
Be prayerful, hold on to faith
Knowing full well, this is the way
Of the awakened souls
Partake in the world as if you will be here only for a moment
Chase the next eternal destination
Work for that as if tomorrow will be the end
Time, is moving and passing quickly
Then one day, all will stop
That day, you will see
That time spent well here
Will be time well invested with
Filling life with unconditional love.
