CONSIDER THE TIME
(Poem by Kenny Bomer 4-13-11)
On goes the clock
It’s constant
Tick, Tick, Tick
For time never stops
No, time never quits
On and on it goes
No beginning or end
Time can not be froze
Time you can not suspend
How much time do you spend
With your family and friends?
Do you waste precious moments
That you will never see again?
Do you kill time,
When there is no time to kill?
Or let it slip by
Time after time if you will
Time will never stand still
Therefore, the time is at hand
Before time runs out
On the time we demand
In time batteries die
The very heart of the clock
We can’t go back in time
For it refuses to stop
At this moment in time
How much have you let pass?
Or failed to utilize
Yes it’s time you were asked
For just as the clock
In time will meet its demise
The hour will chime
When we will be out of time
Qur’an:
Surah Al-Asr (Chapter 103)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
“By (the Token of) time (through the Ages), Verily Man is in loss, Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.”
Praise be to Allah
