A Stop in Time

Time continues,

As our days wind down.

Tick toc, time's very words, tick toc,

Time's only sound.

But time itself is on the clock,

For it too has an end.

For time had a birth,

On the day of man's sin.

The Angel will declare,

That time is no more.

As he puts one foot on the water,

And one on the shore.

Yes, time has an end,

Just like you and I.

And like all of us who are born,

One day, we die.

Time is not to be counted on forever,

Time is only for today.

Time runs just like the rivers,

Passing where we stand,

But always moving away.

Unlike us,

 Time has no soul,

Its simply the gatekeeper,

For the young and the old.

Make well of your time,

For you both shall pass.

Treat each day you're given,

As it were your last.

Death

Is there anything in life,

 More feared than death!

Even the forgotten and cast down,

Still draw breath!

 Do we fear death?

For the sake of the unknown!

Or is it simply the idea,

That all leave alone!

The Bible says, fear and punishment

Go hand and hand!

For all who reject, Christ,

 The Son of Man!

But for the Christian,

Deaths legs are now lame!

For as the Apostle Paul told Christians,

“To die is gain!”

Yes all our lives

 Will cease one day!

It seems so inconceivable to man,

By their earthly ways!

Many act as if,

Death will never come!

But let me assure you,
 death visits all,

Not just some!

Most fear death,

 Because they know not what awaits!

Will it be hell?

Or the pearly gates!

Christians know!

When their life ends!

The time they have longed for,

Finally begins!

So grieve not for Christians,

Who draw their last breath!

For though death may have come!
 With Jesus... they left!
