Jim Norausky - Eternity's Clock is Ticking

2014-11-08 5 Dailymotion

I remember her well <br /> <br />she was a beautiful young nun <br />(I wondered about that later in life) <br /> <br />teaching young children about eternity. <br /> <br />Perhaps she had a training manual <br /> <br />nevertheless the lesson stuck. <br /> <br />If you envision Mt. Everest <br /> <br />made of diamonds, she said <br /> <br />the hardest material on earth <br /> <br />and a fly brushed the mountain <br /> <br />as it flew by every hundred years <br /> <br />the time it would take to wear <br /> <br />the mountain level to the ground <br /> <br />from the friction of its wings <br /> <br />would be one second in eternity. <br /> <br />For a young boy seconds don't count <br /> <br />other things to scurry about- <br /> <br />sounds like a long time though- <br /> <br />Recently, I wrote my life story <br /> <br />in just six words: <br /> <br />'Always in hurry, going nowhere fast'. <br /> <br />But there are not many seconds left <br /> <br />in this old body <br /> <br />having already spent 2 billion. <br /> <br />But, I'm late for a very important date, <br /> <br />what time do you have my friend? <br /> <br />Before we come to rest.<br /><br />Jim Norausky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eternity-s-clock-is-ticking/
