Later

"Later" is word I wish I never knew. You couldn't imagine What that word has put me through. I put things off "Later" caused me to procrastinate. "Later" made me lazy It made me hesitate. "Later" ended my marriage It destroyed my life. "Later" has taken a toll on my family "Later" caused a change in my wife. She used to have faith in me Because my word was bond. "Later" became a part of my vocabulary Now she is gone. "Later" became a part of my speech People started to hate to hear me say it. They knew when I said "Later" Whatever I had to do, I would somehow delay it. I would take my time & put things on hold. I didn't think it was a problem Because "Later" is what they were told. My wife wanted to talk "Later" was my reply. "Later" never came & I don't know why. I really wanted to listen But I just didn't try She got tired of waiting for "Later" So she told me Bye-Bye. "Later" was convient It seemed to be the right thing to say. It seemed like an escape from things I didn't want to do anyway. "Later" will never be used again by me I've learned my lesson well. That word "Later" Has made my life a living hell. If by chance I have to use it I'll be sure to follow through. NEVER let that word "Later" Consume or destroy you too.
