God's Time

Time stops for none, but God stops time for me,
the Good Book says life's over in a blink,
but God makes life last to infinity,
how can life be that long yet just a wink?
Creative God gave us the gift of time,
but as time flows, it swallows up the past,
time seems to slow when we are in our prime,
but old we grow and know it will not last.
Some say we only have one life to live,
but really not, if we join ours to His,
when back to Him His gift of life we give,
time stops and life eternal's all that is.
If my life's time and Yours are joined as one,
then my true life, O God, has just begun.
