The Time That I Have

The time that I have
A most precious thing
How I deploy it
Determines all things

It’s up to me
The boundaries I set
The choices I make
Influence I let

So how do I know
The virtuous path
To be most productive
To make myself laugh

So how do I know
The values to take
To have as the guidelines
My history to make

Values at the root

What do I value
Its important to me
In many ways
Far more than I see

How I developed
Right from the start
Written by values
That work in my heart

How I fit in
Who I enjoy
The key to my work
The skills I employ

Values develop
They morph over time
Built on the past
Become more subtle, sublime

Its not at all random
There is order and plan
Not always perfect
In human hand

Under it all
There is a design
How blessed is the one
Who can fully align
