First charge, have you made each second count
Second charge, how many moments have you ignored
Third charge, how many times did you walk away and say it someone problem it not mine
Fourth charge how much time did you wasted
Well honorable teacher, I have been busy looking after the gardens,tending to the sheep
The teacher looks now on him, what lessons have the animals taught you? Did you listen to nature as she talked to you. When she made breath taking pictures in the sky just for you. Did you see them and whisper a small thank you. She does not recreate the same picture ever day.
Do you see the lame boy who wishes to hear a few kind words maybe a smile from you
When you came back to school did you visit the widows and orphans and misfits of this world,did you sit down and break bread with them
When you were looking for the sheep you lost, a women fell was badly hurt did you offer you hand to help pick her up
How many times have you brush off our sessions to go do some fun events?
When we face the all mighty judge how are you going to explain these things to him.
Every day we miss an opportunity sometimes we are too blind to see them
Teacher, teacher I try so hard, fail in so many ways. We do take for granted so many things in life
Maybe this will help if you only had one day to live, how would you live it.
The doctor says you only have eight hours to live what would you want to do.
We can take nothing with us in death all we can leave behind is love
Student, are you telling it about how well we love now. All we can leave behing
is love and kind acts so hopefully they will be pass on
