TIME

by Lewis E. Thomas  
10/18/2012 / Poetry



Time goes by so quickly now that I have grown old and gray
When I look at the clock I think of my yesterdays.

Not very much accomplished during my teenage years
Mostly running wild and looking cool before my peers.

My twenties were not much better with marriage and divorce
As separation from my children filled me with great remorse.

During my thirties I found a new path to trod
As I became a Christian determined to follow God!

I remarried and taught a class in Sunday school
But divorce struck once again without warning oh so cruel.

The clock ticked very slowly and loneliness was my friend
So God carefully placed a Rose just around the bend.

I remarried once again this time till death do us part
I joined hands with Penny to begin a brand new start.

Then my forties brought a slow drift away from God
The wages of sin caused me to lose my job.

I quickly fell down on my knees and I began to sob
I repented for all the time that I had robbed from God.

The clock ticks ever faster as time marches on
I grieve over all the time I still waste at home.

Time I could have spent witnessing to a lost friend
Time I could have spent saving someone from the jaws of sin.

One day I'll stand before God and He'll check my records well
Will Time be my side or will time send me to hell?



Lewis E. Thomas as given by God on 6 / 24 / 99

Ref. Psalms 31:15
