Ok...a year ago I wrote this poem and since everyone was sharing so much this week :p I thought I'd post it...I hope you enjoy it.
TICKING TIME
Rushing to the finish line,
Never keeping track of time,
As the days pass, so do the weeks,
Months and years, the clock ticks.
Never looking at today,
And always planning for one day
As if one day will always come,
So you say why bother with this one.
Never took a look around,
And paid attention to each sound
Never looked up at the sky,
And admired a bird fly
Never looked down at the ground,
And saw the creatures roam around
Never stopped to realize,
life is fading before your eyes
Just a minute in a day,
Is not too much to take away
Just to see what life is worth
On this place that we call Earth.
Everything will one day pass
So try and make the moments last
Good or bad, things go away
All of them will end one day.
It’s your choice to take the time
Before you reach your finish line.
