A Lifetime’s Value

Completed October 25, 2006
This poem talks about the uncertainties of life. People die, others have had their share of pains, physically and emotionally. But the reality is that there is a spiritual dimension in this life. Make every time an opportunity to share the wonderful love of Jesus - before it's too late!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In an hour, every single minute’s precious.
For in this short moment in time that has just passed,
Some people have died – the die for them is cast.

In a day, every hour is so important.
For in this one whole day that has just elapsed,
Many people have experienced pain – collapsed.

In a week, every day is just as priceless.
For in this time period that has just passed by,
People have felt so lost and have asked God “Why?”

In a month, every week must be well valued.
For in this month-long journey that has ended,
Many people’s hearts and souls can’t be mended.

In a year, every month should be accounted.
Because as a person grows a year older,
Some hearts grow with warmth; while others grow colder,

Every minute, hour, day, week, month, year – a chance!
Therefore, we should view life as to be cherished.
Share God’s love now lest lives forever perish.

Good job. The poem follows a straight train of thought which leads to a solid conclusion. A few rhymes are forced, and the last line should have "perished" without "be" since "perish" is not a transitive verb. Anyway, good job! Remember...the thoughts form the poem, the rhymes only enliven it. (P.S. seesh! Why did I let you post first? When I post my poem "Hour by Hour," I'll be the copycat :P)
