Living Fully In A Minute: Wisdom From Dr. Mays

Dr. Benjamin E. Mays' I Only Have Just a Minute is a powerful reminder of the value of time. In just a few words, it speaks to the choices we face every moment—how we use our time shapes our lives. Let this be a call to pause, reflect, and honor the minutes that carry the weight of eternity. A simple, profound message to ground you in presence and purpose.

This is one of my favourite poems, I heard it first said by a great man I had the privilege to know and work for - Congressman Elijah Cummings. It captures the essence of time.

I only have 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.
