Time Will Be No More



 TIME WILL BE NO MORE

By George Thurlow

©️August 17, 1998


There are no clocks in heaven

For time it is no more…

No schedules, dates, or deadlines 

Over on the golden shore. 


Calendars are not needed, 

We’ll need not flip the page

Or punch the office time clock

To receive a weekly wage.


No more the dreadful ringing

Of the alarm to wake us up

Or be stalled in evening traffic

With workers bound for sup.


The cuckoo clock will silence,

There’ll be no tolling of the bell;

We have stepped into eternity 

No longer “time will tell”.


*Poem inspired by Rev. Merle L. Mitchell’s

words “There are no clocks in heaven” preached on 8/16/1998 in the evening service at Faith Lighthouse Assembly of God, Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
