Fleeting Time

A pocket of time, maybe in your busy day
begs you spend some time at prayer and play,
your friends come and want to say
come outside, enjoy the sunny day,
the air is clean and the weather good
come outside, you know you should,
take the time to play and grow
all your surroundings will please you so,
time is important and needs to pass too
the sounds of nature and God's love for you,
drift with the time and play with life,
trust the adventure never fills with strife
a time forgotten in one's older mind
of when we were litle and life was so kind,
hold that thought within your mind's grasp,
tis the sound of youth, it passes so fast,
lock your mind on bigger, bible goals,
to reach for life and all it holds,
your mind flashes to thoughts so bold
to fun and friends, and always truth,
then we know life's sounds never go
they just move with the current in life's flow,
take your time and listen long,
the fleeting moment of youth's soft song,
ask not why and when your soul must fly
take life on earth until the final cry
the days of life will come and truly go
earth's time tis but one short grand show,
be of good cheer and fear your soul not,
God's eternal life is always ahead of man's clock.
