Elementary

Things so precious, they fall between our fingers

Time is gone, once we let it slip away

Wasted like emeralds and sapphires in a landfill

six miles down in the rotting clay

My answer remains plain

Redeem the time and live/love

as if Eternity's today

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. [Eph 5:15-16]

A/N: We do not know how many days we have on earth. I urge you to value each and every day and the privilege to spend it with those we love. It's so easy to take every day, take our families, take everything we have for granted. Instead, let's live as if today is our last day on earth.
