Precious is time, fleeting, then gone,
'Life's Rhyme' that greets each given dawn,
Presents the chance to progress make
Steps in the dance of give and take
In equal measure, Hell or Heaven....

Precious treasure freely given.

A moment found, one second's sway
Can be a lifetime or a day,
Perception casts its misty net
Though nothing lasts one can't forget
That 'timeless reaching' into space....

To touch that teaching, healing place.

What have you done, I heard God say,
So near and yet so far away,
The quiet, gentle inner voice,
That speaks of giving and of choice,
To listen and soft build upon....

Precious is Time....

Fleeting....then gone!
