I arrogantly acted
as if I owned time,
but I did not,
so the Thief
tempted me
and taunted me,
with interruptions,
and I got exasperated,
so I madly chased him,
like a wild-eyed maniac,
but he just laughed at me,
as if I were a ridiculous fool,
a stupid ridiculous fool.
But when the Light
Showed me The Way,
I surrendered back to Him
His generous gift of time:
Tuus totus ego sum,
I am all yours,
And all the time I have is yours,
O Lord, through Our Lady,
The Queen of All Hearts —
I breathe in His peace,
Oh, so deeply,
And then exhale my impatience,
As I worship
The King of Time,
The King of Divine Mercy.
