Balancing Time

TIME...enemy or friend- ...with us until the end. _by Poet If time were just a gift to spend in any way we choose, without a thought of, at the end- well-spent? Or did we lose? Each second, minute, hour, count to make a brand new day; how do we divvy the amount tween what comes first and play? Did we embrace or kiss someone- or even, a dear pet, and feel the joy when that is done- to share the love we get? Have we made time to help a friend with simple words or deeds; some flowers or a card to send to those, we know have needs? Did we take time to think and pray; be thankful for our gifts, and offer pleas for ways that may help others needing lifts? And, have we used our talents well- inborn or those acquired? Took special time to work, propel creative drives inspired? But, when it comes our time to play, time needs to slow a bit, rewarding us with some leeway- long, fun-filled hours- permit. So, time should be accounted for not only to survive- preplanned enough to do much more! But- not on overdrive!
