To be...

To be little again, where I'd once been. To belittle a friend, could one ever mend?

To be tall in height, tall to the sky. To be tall rather than be little, then stop and wonder why?

To all that is... to all that can be. To be blinded by all, all that you see.

To whisper a whisper that seems to shout back. To hear your heart break while under attack.

To breathe in life yet forget to take it all in. To exhale your last breath, to lose a dear friend.

To every solution, for every equation, relies on an answer with simple persuasion.

To want back once it's lost. No need to savor, then it's tossed. 

Every penny dropped, luck to someone who finds. To every precious moment you live, Treasure those times.

For every waking hour to the minute of every passing day, don't waste a second, not a second, for life to slip away.....

I like this very much and I love the ending as that's a great thought---it's a feeling that I like to write about--thank you and keep on writing.

I like the flow, but found it hard to follow. Personal opinion (skalasoldier liked it).. but I like the lines to end and begin a new line within the flow.. the flow is there but a few returns would make it easier for ME to read... imho. nice poem.. keep writing!

Here is where I think the returns should be.. again as an opinion.. but helps me read it better, it is where I would take a breath if read outloud.
