Fearful reflection Will the time, once go away ? Stop, at the end of the road ... and nothing will last ? - You can never own the time Every second - one heartbeat The time is ticking Living life to the fullest - in faith and obedience You might not see it ... Time has meaning and value I ask, where does the road go ? 14.07.2019 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Fives and Sevens Poetry Contest Choka : 5 - 7 - 7 - 5 - 7 - 7 Sponsored by: Joseph May # 4 2nd place in the contest

The concept of time varies with each of us. You notice it most in youth going slow then as we age how the time speeds up. I had to laugh at my mother-in-law long ago when she said "oh just throw a sheet over my Christmas tree, it will be Christmas again very soon. I'm pretty sure she was serious!!! Congrats on your great win! xxoo

Hi Dear Anne-Lise - each second you are so right is a heartbeat, and a failure of this second/heartbeat means death. Each second should be a treasure, as should be each minute, each hour and each day, for it is a blessing from God. An absolute fav for me, as I agree with you very clever write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Anne Lise, I agree, us humans need "time". So instead of worrying about when it will stop, we must embrace it and appreciate the " time" we have by using it wisely. Good thought provoking write. I wish you the best of luck in the contest :-) Alexis
