Running out of time
Ecclesiastes 5:2
2 (5:1) Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,
for God is in heaven and you are on earth!
Therefore, let your words be few.
Running out of time the day is almost over
Early in the morning the hours mostly planned
Little moving done just running for cover
on a little planet that seems undermanned
Quietly sucking on a thumb trying to appear wise
Little do I know that the diaper is smelling?
Pretty close to dumb leaning on my wife
Always on the go on the edge of rebellion
Little progress made all the signs are backward
Circling around hope that seems out of my reach
Scriptures our of date left somewhere in my backyard
Now with weeds overgrown interwoven with my speech
Words are just words and truth only found in silence
Feet of clay are brittle and made for the lightweights
Gather now all the hurts for the final deliverance
To the gory of the griddle or the Promise never late
Jan Wienen
