Please use wisely

You can never have as much as you want

Or stretch, prolong, add to it

You've only that which you were given

When you began your journey through it

Passing days or counting minutes

Prone to waste, abide, or need it

'tis water through the hands

No man can ever catch or keep it

Some will say they have the power

To rearrange, contrive, or make it

But 'tis only subject to one Master

Who does not need and yet creates it

We may have much or hardly any

Blissful, abundant, afraid to lose it

The crux is not the quantity

But the quality of how you use it

"What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes"

- James 4:14b (NIV)
