Hello Roy,
you've written words of wisdom in your poem. We don't know when our last breath will arrive, so it's wise to be living with the future in mind and invest in the Lord's kingdom. Too many people are living as if they have forever, not realizing that tomorrow may never come. Well done.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Yes, we only have today but we can be at peace about tomorrow because Jesus holds all of them and He knows all our yesterdays, too. Great message of assurance!
I wasn't quite sure what this meant:
your next you may just borrow. (next day? Or is "next" a noun here?)

Excellent advice to spend your time well, because it is precious. As you write, one can't possess tomorrow. Yet, we can't stop thinking about tomorrow. We plan and prepare, although the future's always uncertain. Excellent rhyme for your short one. judi

The present moment is what I was trying to express in my recent poem: "Tempus Fugit". So, so many people live in the past and future, some of those that live in the moment, do not bless God, but Ceasar.

Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today -- perfect, because one never knows if you will see the light of day. We must make the best of what we have and enjoy each other now, not wait until tomorrow.
Smiles, Carol

Roy,

Another great poem. Am I blowing up your ego yet? No seriously the four lines are very powerful. Not sure how the picture of Two Pac plays into. Unless you used him as an example how short life is really and we are all on borrowed time.

We are flooded with deception twenty four hours a day.
They shake with one hand, while the other reaches in your pocket. It has always been here, it was just not on full greedy display. I dispare sometimes when I see graft winning out. I pray and send good wishes as often as I can good energy to hold back the tide. Good writing Roy. :-)

Roy, What a great reminder you have issued to us all about the last hour. Our pastor gave a very good sermon on God's call. You used great and true words and very good scripture and imagery. May God bless you and your family! Blessings, Teri

This is a great reminder to 'redeem the time," especially since we don't know when our time will end, either in death or in the coming back of Jesus. Great thought! Blessings. Carol

    As we age, I think we focus a little more on our time, and what we've managed to accomplish -- or not.
reply by the author on 15-Nov-2024
    Yes, we are more conscious of it.

I have written "all life is memory, except for the breath in my lungs." I agree with the premise of your poem. Matthew 6:34 tells us not to worry about tomorrow because today has enough trouble of its own.
