Three and a Half Years
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Sometimes it isn’t about anything but time.
Sometimes it’s not about teaching or preaching.
Sometimes it’s not about giving or receiving.
Sometimes it’s not about prayer or worship.
Sometimes it’s not about singleness or courtship.
Sometimes it’s not about sickness or health.
Sometimes it’s not about riches or wealth.
Sometimes it’s not about anything but time.
Slow down and think awhile, that’s not a crime.
