No Time

we have no time... take advantage of every moment.

Like a fleeting dream life passes by

We don’t realize until its too late

That life’s too short for hate and hurt

We have no time to wait

 

We think we always have tomorrow

We’ll see them later on

But tomorrow had never been promised

It could very well be gone

 

We pass our loved ones day by day

Not telling them of their worth

Not cherishing those little moments

While we walk upon this earth

 

But in a moment life can change

Like a candle’s flame goes out

And we act so shocked that we missed our chance

When we failed to seek it out

 

And like a fleeting dream life passes by

Never realizing until its too late

That life’s too short for hate and hurt

We have no time to wait

Great wisdom in your words. Time is our greatest wealth. I wish for a few minute to thank a grandparent who raise me. Today I look back and if I could do many things different. The story and logic in your words are true. These are the poem that leave the reader with wisdom and thoughts.

Beautiful and so true.

Wow, heartfelt and true, and well crafted integrity, the sum of a very swiirling idea, i think this is brilliantly true. the meaning spoke to me as: life is too short simply. or is it? in the greater scheme, regardless, there is wayyy too much hurt and hate going on, and then it really does boil down to the indivisual person, and there are just too many bad people. so one can only think positive, and hope such worlds never collide.

So very true. Nicely written. A wonderful poem.
