To Be

To be little again where I'd once been To be-little 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.....
