Walton used the poem in his sermon. \u00a0We thought our guest should turn professional because his delivery added to the profoundness of the poem<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For you – the poem is reprinted\u00a0here:<\/p>\n Life is just a minute\u2014only sixty seconds in it. By Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, Past President of Morehouse College<\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n“Life Is Just A Minute<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nForced upon you\u2014can’t refuse it.
\nDidn’t seek it\u2014didn’t choose it.
\nBut it’s up to you to use it.
\nYou must suffer if you lose it.
\nGive an account if you abuse it.
\nJust a tiny, little minute,
\nBut eternity is in it!”<\/p>\nEd Note<\/strong>: \u00a0Sorry for all the “powerfuls” in this blog. \u00a0Couldn’t find another word to fit.<\/h4>\n
