Acknowledging the Value of Time

Time is precarious
Precious
Unpredictable
She melts away
Or she runs away
Or she disappears
We cannot hold her
Or rearrange her
Or beg her to give more
We can only appreciate her while she is here

I liked this poem a lot Caren. Maybe because I too have a time poem. I have not been on for quite some time and I may disappear again. I was recently diagnosed with Dementia. I'll have to write a poem about it! Hugs and Love! Susan Maree

Susan, I am sorry to hear about the dementia. You now have prayers from Kansas. By the way, my youngest daughter is named Susan.
