FEAR OF TIME
When you get a little older and time goes by too fast,
A little fear creeps in, how long will my time last?
Will I do all things set out for me, all that I should do?
How much time do I have left? I wish I really knew.

That thinking is really a waste of that precious time,
Fulfill it, not fear it, working at things, don’t whine,
Look at all around you and look for the work laid out
It’s there for you to do, there’s plenty without a doubt.

The pendulum will not stop from swinging to and fro,
Time plods ever firmly onward as through life we go,
If we use time wisely and never fear it’s quick passing
We will be blessed, find our lives always fulfilling.

What can I do today to make time work right for me?
Do a good deed, create love and something of great beauty,
Spend time with nature and those whom you truly love,
Every moment worthwhile, planning for heaven above.

Time is not to be feared, but to be used every day,
Time is our free gift to use the very best we may,
Treasure every moment, don’t throw away precious time
With cruelty, hate or fear, to do so would be a crime.
