I PLEA

Another year comes to an end Why so fast Can’t comprehend Each moment Each hour Each day for me No sooner I awaken ‘tis time for bed I’m taken Slow down for me just for awhile a little more time ‘tis all I ask In the sun by the sea with my loving family just for me slow down I plea… A 2024 Sponsor Brian Strand

Dear Anne, your poem beautifully captures the fleeting nature of time and the yearning for moments to linger a little longer. Your words eloquently speak of the desire to savor life's precious moments with loved ones. It evokes a sense of longing for simplicity and tranquility. You expressed this sentiment so poignantly. - Blessings, Daniel
