Time

Time is precious, and this poem is a great reminder. Ilya wrote this poem a few years back, and it always makes me think about time as the most precious resource on earth. You can get more material things, but time is something you will never get more of. Once your time is up, it’s up. You cannot over-live. Every day is a gift from God, we must remember that!

As I glance at the picture on the wall,
The memories I do recall.
I remember that little child’s face, 
who now grew up in God’s grace

Sometimes I wish to go back again,
To relive the days now past
But, I know that nothing 
But God can last.

Every minute, every second past
Is now gone forever,
The only thing left is the memories
We have together.

Time is a gift from God for us to hold, 
T’is more precious than silver or gold.
Time is something you cannot buy,
Though it does come in limited supply.

Hopefully by now you have learned,
That time cannot be returned.
So use your time wisely before it runs out.
Living your life for Jesus, is what its all about!

-Ilya Gundorin {Eli}
