A While

Everything only lasts a while, Everything breaks after a while, Everything disappears after a while, Everything changes after a while, Everything smells after a while. We all can enjoy everything for a while, We all can smile for a while, We all can wait for a while. Knowing nothing lasts for more than a while, Should we not celebrate for a while, Be grateful for a while, Be happy for a while, And not complain for a while, Making Life totally worthwhile. Will we ever know how long a while lasts? I like to think we decide how long a while lasts, If our mind set for a while lasts.

Hi Jan, Good to have your comments and poetry for another while. Our family together again for another while on the occasion of my second of two girls (Anna Marie) birthday tomorrow. We also have 1 boy. I didn't put in this piece but important we can relax for a while, particularly on a Sunday which is why we were given it. Thanks again David in NZ
