Time has no eraser, only morning
Earth is not immune to moment-grace
Where Generations pass like grass; ah, darling
How it eases through eons of space
Its resting place a grave I cannot see
Because its death will be the Death of Me
Time has no rebuttal; it is subtle
In its non-confrontational exchange
Of dawn to dark and Truth as youth is startled
By Awareness of Something age-old, yet strange
And I, along with universal masses
Am bound by this that only Death surpasses

There is only one alternative to getting older, the minister reminded us at my aunt's funeral yesterday...we should consider Time's gift a priceless allowance!
If Death should come calling today
In form of The Sublime
to grant one wish
I'm sure we would say
'oh, for a little more Time'
Some verses from God's Word on Time or Life...
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."…James 4:13-15
