Time

We fill our time from morning to night,
Whatever that is an enjoyable delight;
Even burning a candle from both ends,
Just so we even have time for friends.

We take time to see a movie or a show,
To see the top named stars we know;
And then right afterwards a bite to eat,
At some restaurant that is really neat.

Time on the computer to surf the net,
In a chat room with people we met;
Time to search for the latest craze,
That all are talking about these days.

Time to check what is on the TV,
All the latest shows on for to see;
A show so boring you fall a sleep,
That was about an inner city creep.

But seems to be no time for God,
For worshiping in honor and laud;
In time when your life is through,
God may not have any time for you.
