The Swiftness of Time






One month has gone
Just like that!
Today, February 1st
Affirms that fact

I wonder what
Is responsible for this
Time going so fast
There’s much we miss


We make big plans
Like we have time
At the end of the day
Our tasks form a line

The days are shorter
It appears to be
And time is winding down
It seems to me

Maybe it’s because
There’s so much to do
Far more to do
Than we’ve been use to

Or maybe if you please
Time sped up a bit
And the earth is spinning
At a faster clip


Or some may argue
It’s all in the mind
This whole idea
Of the speeding time

Whatever it is
It has occurred to me
That the way we feel
Becomes our reality


If as the Bible says
Time has an end
Then ever since the beginning
It must be shorter my friend

It cannot get longer
That is clear to me
God has drawn the line
And that’s what it’ll be

No wonder it’s appointed
Everything that occurs
Like dots on a line
They cannot be deferred


What’s done is done
And what’s not is not
Time doesn’t unwind
No matter what

If you have a feeling
You’re almost out of time
It most likely is
It’s further down the line

More critical too
Is an individual’s line
Each one of us
Has an allotted time

One may have doubts
About God’s timeline
But everyday he gets closer
To the end of his time

The swiftness of time
Is obvious to me
It should be to you too
I trust you can see

Time is not indefinite
As some may believe
But eternity is
Do not be deceive


Time is going somewhere
I want you to see
It will eventually end up
In eternity
