Poem – I have only just a minute

By Dr. Benjamin E. Mays I have only just a minute,

Only 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.

 

– Blessings, hope, and joy to the Class of 2020

Prof. E. Ophelia Johnson, M.F.A.
