That Time

by Lost in Love   Nov 11, 2006


That time that we spend on Earth varies.
Not always is life long. But sometimes it is short indeed.

Not always is that time enjoyable. Not always it is fun.
But that time can be like the coldest night in winter.
Also, that time can be like that laugh we all shared with our family long ago. It can be the most fun game of them all.

Indeed some people waste that time. Sometimes we lie and betray. Sometimes we hurt others on the inside and outside. Sometimes we are just about as bad as the devil himself.

But also some good people remain using that time to make that time for other people a better place. We should love our neighbor. We should give to those who need it more than we do. We should help one and another make that time a little bit easier, better, and more satisfying.

So what you hear, see, or find out about is not always the right way to spend that time. It is not why or how we are here, but how we spend it while it lasts.

Patterned after “The Dash” By Linda Ellis
