CONTEMPLATING TIME

CONTEMPLATING TIME

One of God’s greatest mysteries is time
The passing of the hours days and years
This process starts when you were born
Through your senior years as the end nears

When you were a young child
Time seemed to move so slow
Trips that you looked forward to
Took forever before you got to go

Years pass and you would start growing up
You wonder what it would be like to be older
Not realizing that when you do become an adult
There is a huge responsibility on your shoulder

Suddenly the years seem to go flying by
And your spare time seems to disappear
Things that you did take much longer now and
You start to think about when the end is near

You reminisce about the past
Knowing that you can’t go back
Those days seem like it was yesterday
And you have trouble keeping track

Then you make your way to heaven and
Realize that age was just a state of mind
God was giving you one of life’s lessons
To move forward leaving the past behind

He wanted you to get to know Him Before
The day that you would breath your last
Forsaking all of the ways of this world
For an eternity much better than the past
