The Blame Lies with Me

Shirley Shuler on Oct 17, 2009

Time and chance are not always a given.

I turned around and time had ran by me.

I looked around and time had escaped me.

Am I to blame for losing track of time?

Maybe it was time that lost track of me.

Leaving me so little time to catch up to

my own shadow.

Time is giving me a second chance.

Warning me to keep an eye on the clock.

This gift of time and chance will not be

given again.

Well said, Shirley. Time is fleeting, it stops for no one, always marching on.

Ditto Lady Sunshine’s comments; then again, as the Rolling Stones sang, “time is on my side…”

Nice one, Shirley.
