24 Hours Poem by Curtis Johnson

24 Hours of Power
By Curtis Johnson

He was strong, loving, merciful, and he was God
He made a beautiful world when everything was void

It was He who sat on a throne, and gave valuable gifts to all
The red, yellow, brown, black, and white; the short and the tall

He gave allotments of shares, in packages of twenty-four
Lose not, waste not, as so many others have done before

Take your God given shares and respect them highly
Invest your divine allotment, and use it wisely

24 hours per day; to live, to laugh, to care, to share, to learn, to love
Treasure your unmerited package of twenty-four as long as you live
Your priceless measure is fixed and final; no more can He give

Sail the oceans wide, or climb the highest mountain; the choice is ours
We may descend the deepest sea; or build the highest tower.
In the time allotted, we excel or fail; we have the power cj8/9/15
