Fleeting Time

Daisy Peasblossom on Dec 26, 2009

Contemplating all the chores, expectations and needs…

There isn’t enough time
To do the work,
Play the games,
Breath
And smell the morning.

There isn’t enough time
To hold the babies,
Sooth their fears
Watch them sleeping
Before we let them go.

There isn’t enough time
To be a lover, be a wife
Earn the money,
Keep the house,
So the husband goes.

There isn’t enough time
To pay the bills
Enjoy the grandchildren,
Cuddle the pets
And keep up with duties.

There isn’t enough time
So…
Right now, I’m having fun
I’m in the moment.

For this is all the time there is.

Good for you. You can’t freeze it…can’t can it…even Jim Croce couldn’t put it in a bottle. Might as well use it while you have it.

An excellent philosophy for time waits for no man or woman.

It’s all we have, the moment. So no need to waste it. Just enjoy the heck out of it.

I have learned to let some things go to enjoy the better things in life. But I agree with all need more time.

Hi there!
