From the tomorrow we hope to come
We can never borrow time
And from its minutes we cannot take
From the day that lays behind
Each day given holds its own
A measured amount of alloted hours
We cannot add or detract from one
This task is not within our power
We only have what time is given
There is no time within the past
And the time that is yet to come
Is fleeting quickly and will not last
The time now that we posses
Is the greatest gift we have been given
It cannot be bought with gold or silver
And it's value cannot be written
Will you spend your time as a fool will do
Upon temporary and fleeing pleasure
Or will you spend it on things eternal
And lay up for yourself in heaven , treasure
