The precious hours of each day
Continually will tick away.
There's opportunity in each
A deed to do or goal to reach.
We cannot keep or get them back,
But certainly can try to pack
Some good things into every hour,
Maybe even plant a flower.
When that flower starts to bloom
And issues forth it's sweet perfume,
Share it... just to bring a smile
To one who needs to feel worthwhile.
If we use our time this way
And give to brighten someone's day,
God will honor what we do
And multiply our time anew.
"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
Ephesians 5:15-16 KJV
