The time given by God is most precious; <br />One can’t afford to waste by any means; <br />Yet, God has been to everyone gracious; <br />He watches always all the earthly scenes. <br /> <br />There is no time to feel jealous or fight; <br />There is no time to waste in gambling games; <br />There is no time to sleep enough at night; <br />There is no time to achieve many aims. <br /> <br />There is no time to love your neighbor/hate; <br />There is no time to wonder why or find; <br />There is no time to earn enough or mate; <br />There is no time to work or rest your mind. <br /> <br />So, make the best use of your precious time; <br />Love God, His creatures: make your life sublime.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-time-is-most-precious/
