Just a Minute

Just a Minute

How much value do you put on a minute?

I have only just a minute,
merely sixty seconds in it,
Forced upon me, can't refuse it,
didn't seek it, didn't choose it.
But it's up to me to use it,
I must suffer if I lose it,
give account if I abuse it.
Just a tiny little minute,
but Eternity is in it.
