“Father Time” is NOT:<\/p>\n
the gentleman I thought he was,<\/p>\n
as I timeless as I thought,<\/p>\n
kind to 30-year-olds, or 50-year-olds, or 70-year-olds.<\/p>\n
He was kind to 40-year-olds!<\/p>\n
40 was my best year in human terms,<\/p>\n
and that was many years ago, truth be told.<\/p>\n
But, who tells the truth about age, anyway!!<\/p>\n
My conclusion is<\/p>\n
“Father Time” is an evil, man-made idol<\/p>\n
To steal from thinking minds,<\/p>\n
Taking away their ability<\/p>\n
to perceive\u00a0the beauty of<\/p>\n
the timelessness we really live in.<\/p>\n
If a believer is given<\/p>\n
Eternal Life through<\/p>\n
believing\u00a0what<\/p>\n
the creator of time said,<\/p>\n
the only measure of time is<\/p>\n
timelessness.<\/p>\n
He,\u00a0God, the Father who<\/p>\n
Does not slide down<\/p>\n
a tower in a ball of lights,<\/p>\n
dressed in white robes with<\/p>\n
a staff and a long white beard,<\/p>\n
sent His Son to free us,<\/p>\n
Free us from Time so we<\/p>\n
Can live forever in<\/p>\n
His realm.<\/p>\n
Therefore, and hereafter,<\/p>\n
numbers don’t matter to anyone but people.<\/p>\n
That makes ME timeless!!<\/p>\n
