The Letter

"Dear Time" Thank you for being patient, Thank you for understanding I'm human, after all. Forgive me for all the mischievous prank calls. Much of what I said and done, was out of fun. Now, I sit on this rocking chair getting old. Reminiscing over the beauty and honor it has been Passing this land we call "EARTH." Reminiscing over the beauty and honor, ----- REMINISCING! Sorry, if I repeat the same beat a thousand times.... You see, I sit here every day thinking this world is mine.... Trying to remember, who I AM. Every moment there has ever been or ever will be, Is taking a toll on every single feeling and memory. Time, Yes------------------ TIME! The wrinkles on my face will never describe how many birthdays I celebrate. The wrinkles on my face Tell stories reminding my readers, Where I've been and come from How consistent, and fortunate I've been, Babbling about my past, present, and future; The only advantage of the word "TIME." -- It helps fade hurting moments away-- You see, time is the essence of memories. Dear Time, "Growing from young to old, was not as easy as it sounds." Please be patient with_____ Wait! I said that already.... Thank you for understanding what I’m going through. Please listen, be patient with what's burning deep down inside. It's almost dinner time -- once again, I mention the word "TIME!" I'm not hungry, food just isn't the same when fed through a straw. Besides, have you seen the garments ''they'' make me wear? Never thought I'd live to see myself in old-fashioned nightgowns Time keeps adding silver to what used to be pretty brownish red hair Time what have you done to me? Please excuse if I can't work a remote or function the TV properly. What has happened to simple technology, When everything came with "ON and OFF" buttons. Time understand what I go through, my legs never felt this tired I can't seem to keep myself on the same path, I lose track of time when navigating my toes Dear Time, Take my hand, lead the way and understand I can't see more Time, allow the joy to take its time when my end is near. Thank you, Time, for all the loving moments we shared Thank you, Time and please be kind and end my life with love. End my life with love----- End my life with love----- Wait..... I said that already.... Dear Time, Thanks for having patience. Sincerely Yours The Little Old Lady Across the Street by: PD
