Wise Words from John Alston

The only thing you have in life is time
Words spoken from a source wise
He shared these words, but why?

It’s quite simple

When all that one has is time
Then one must ask,
What does time truly permit?

This, too, is quite simple
Opportunity
And, “all opportunity is
is a chance to choose…”

What might we choose?
That is for us to decide
For John knew something simple

That all we have in life is time
And there are no refunds on such
So what will we choose?

John might say, if he had read what I have written,
Whatever you choose truly will make the difference.
