Test Of Time The Seamstress, painted by Joseph DeCamp Test Of Time Another year has come and gone, how did it go so fast? Fleeting, fleeting rushing on like a river running past. My question is, what have I done with the swiftly passing year? Did I keep my mind on Jesus and watch for Him to appear? Did I fill my time with useless things that won't matter in the end? Or did I spend a lot of time with Him, my endearing, Greatest Friend? As usual at this time of year, I take time to sit and reflect About the things that went on this year and what was the effect. Life seems to be more trying, have I that much more to learn? Is the question I ask my Dearest Friend and for His counsel do I yearn. I want to be more like Him and stand the test of time And one day clearly hear Him say, "You are truly mine." © 2004 Karen Langford Brown Back to Poems Front Page Site constructed, illustrated and managed by Liz Vose Vose Arts and Crafts, Berwick, Maine gardeningartist@comcast.net
