We can’t go back in time to do all those things we meant to do, but we can move forward from this moment with a new perspective. Time lost can never be regained…..

Who can stop the march of time?
Turn back the clock
Do things over, differently
Than before, knowing all
We know now, would we take
A different approach
Be better pupils of life’s lessons
Worry less and love more
Keep our promises, even the “small” ones
Laugh out loud at our own foolishness
(We always took ourselves too seriously
Believing we had all the answers)
Greet each day with gratitude
Find beauty in things often overlooked
How easily we forgot
Caught up in the race to success
All the while the hands moved forward
In steady progression
Time we can never regain
