TIME

Time steals many moments of our life.

We are governed by her rules.

She tells us when to be here…or there.

She has us running around like fools.

 

But I wonder…when it comes to time…

have you ever given any thought…

to how, though some of this running around is necessary…

some of it…is not.

 

For when you slow your life down…

Oh the wonders you will see…

as you begin to take the time…

for what time is meant to be.

 

Time to watch the sun rise…or set… 

To marvel at how morning dewdrops gleam

To listen to the rain, the birds, the wind…

To skips stones across a stream.

 

Time to walk in moonlight…

to dip your fingers the sea…

to smell the fragrance of a rose…

To sit in the shade of an old oak tree

 

Yes, time steals many moments… 

but when they’re gone…do not forsake them…

Because…

She also gives us moments to enjoy…

 

It’s up to us to take them.

Time:

Thoughtful poem - about time, when we get an oppurtunity to slow our lives down we should show our appreciation to the earth by taking care of the earth via environmental programms. Liked your poem - it questions too how we live and when we slow down and as the earth put downs it's daily seals as we spin in space. joy a nice read.
