Analysis of One minute in time.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



1 minute in time.

Take one minute in your life and look all around. Now that it is gone, what have you found? You can't get it back; you left it behind. You just wasted a minute of time. I see new friends that never end. The trees have pretty leaves. And Ant walked by me. I see in you a person who is blind. So stop wasting my time. That one minute in your life can make or change you and won't leave you behind, so keep in mind that one minute in time. Now that you can see, everything is new and free. That one minute is a lifetime to me.

Do any of us take a minute and look around. It seems like we don't have a minute.
