A second...

Some say lifes too short,some say lifes too long,
a discussion that can go on and on.
A second too fast,a second that froze,
how many seconds weve witnessed God alone knows.
What happens after the seconds or before is where linger our minds,
i reckon we should ponder on the eternity of things that pass between those seconds,
regardless the relativity of time.

I saw an angel smile at me once,her smile lingered only for a second,
though in that second it felt asthough ages sped by fore reality beckoned.
Whats the mystery? does the Lord alone know,
well he created it all,so i guess so...
I once tried speaking endlessly through the night,to God who i could not see,
and amidst a second came his reply,a reply less in word more in deed.
That second in which i felt that finally my God replied,
was a second in which i felt an eternity of happiness oh so nigh.
A man said "lifes too long" and died a fool,
i heard the angel of death whisper "any second now...fore its you"
So i understood that life on earth is just,nothing but a test,
and every second i live i consider my self to be blessed.
Every second another soul tastes of death,
Every second another baby breathes first breath.

Some say lifes too short,some say lifes too long,
a discussion that can go on and on.
A second too fast,a second that froze,
how many seconds weve witnessed God alone knows.
What happens after the seconds or before is where linger our minds,
i reckon we should ponder on the eternity of things that pass between those seconds,
regardless the relativity of time.
