Time Is Our Teacher
WARRIOR Tue 22 Jun 2010, 12:25 pm
Time was created for man
To be able to measure
His many successes
To use time as a gauge
For structure, growth, maturity.
Time is a teacher.
It shows us what we were,
What we are, who we become.
It never rewinds itself
Rather it does review,
So we can compare and change
To grow to new heights,
Become the person
We are meant to be.
At the end of our time
We can trade in
Our life’s accomplishments.
The check list is much different
To what we live by.
It will be the little things
We have done and lived
With much care and concern
Being the grade of rewards.
Each of us, our time
Is various lengths.
Let us in all sobriety
Seize onto it, use it
Cherish it as precious
With no guarantees of tomorrow.
Toss aside regrets and misery
Look and see today
For what it really is
A gift of no guarantee
That tomorrow will come.
Live it in the fullness
It presents itself.
And doing so you
Will find the Divine present.

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
