Precious, Little Time

My, what a fly-by this summer is!

Today was no exception💕

Make the most of what we all know

There is precious little of, oh

How soft and swift a day slips by

Just like a twinkle in time’s eye

Make the best of what we learn, oh

There is no returning to, so

Do not waste the haste of hours

Tick-tock takes children and flowers

Treasure darling words like hello

Savour the moments that follow  

How soft and swift a year slips by

Just like a twinkle in time’s eye

Count your blessings, not your trouble

Time is like a rain-bowed bubble

Pop the top from flasks of laughter

Long, the gong tolls ever-after

Take the dare to live life slowly

For this gift we share is holy

How soft and swift a life slips by

Just like a twinkle in Time’s eye

Recently I chatted with a lovely lady at a funeral visitation.
Last weekend she passed away suddenly due to a heart-attack.
Reminds us to make our precious, little Time matter
because we never know when we've reach the last of days numbered
before one of them came to be!!!

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me
were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Psalm 139:16
