Pam Deremer Poet I do not know?

A Moment Lost In Time

The clock is ticking...
     tick...tick...tick

You need to make a decision...
     so make it quick.

This moment will soon be passing you by,
     then all you can do is ask yourself why.

Why didn't you make each second count?
     Perhaps you should have gone a different route.

There's 60 seconds in every minute...
     60 minutes in every hour...
          about the time it takes to shower.

Will you make the most of each?
     Just think of how many people you could reach.

If you live in the moment...
     instead of the past...

You can make the most of your time here...
     cause life goes by so fast.


                                              P.R.Deremer
