Use By Date
On jar lids
packet edges,
in neat computer printing
are dates:
“Use by …”
“Best Before …”
A sign of finite life,
Limited use,
and inevitable corruption.
The average life span for men
in Australia is.
79.7 years.
Is that a “best before”
or “use by” date?
Or is every second
a gift
to be cherished
and lived,
whether many or few?
For there is no
“Use By” date”
in the Kingdom of God.
