Seven Minutes

Intertwined, beautiful, and shocking
The stories of our lives are like a fabric
The needle threads and carries out
The intricate work of its composer

Where it starts and where it stops, its never up to us
And our journey is a path to an ancient discovery
Where we are, where we're going, and why we're here
But most importantly, is the mysterious Artisan

Its an ancient tale that's repeated with every sunset
As lives begin and lives end with the sunrise
Full of options, opinions, and choices
Happiness and confusion is just part of it all

But this is true of all life
From the smallest to the biggest
The most accomplished and the most obscure
As surely as it begins, it also ends

So take heart and courage
Circumstances are but temporary
And more important than their presence
Is your response and your appreciation

Your seven minutes in this visible world
Will determine your timeless life in the invisible world
