What Is It?

A Poem by carl

just wondering

What Is It?

 

You dare ask for more 

for time to stop

to run away

slow down

back up

freeze

rerun

what is it must be done?

We can never get more time and we seem to never have enough. Old Ben Franklin was wrong as could be in Poor Richard's Almanac when he wrote, "Time is money." Time is life and life is nothing but time. How we spend our time is how we spend our life and it can't be bought back or brought back with mere printed paper and coin. Life is for living and not for the accruement of monetary wealth. My proposal is to spend every moment like it was our last because it just might be. Maybe we could be a bit kinder, a little more helpful and considerate of our brothers and sisters with whom we share this journey.

The wonderings here make me realize this very moment... this breath... and also those that have passed... and those moments yet to come. Treasures... that too often slip through our hands. Time... oh, it is often gone so quickly... may we not forget it's price.

Some just cannot be convinced to trust enough to love again, once the hurt has sunk in too deep.
Been there, done that, felt this.
