Listen to poem:

Dandelion

In mysterious oddity
This precious commodity..
Time.
It marches. It whistles it's way down the track.
It passes, it flies. 
We can never go back.
We can spend it and share it
Or selfishly hoard.
It's sand through our fingers..
Like glue when we're bored.
Time.
It's a God given gift..
At it's best when we share.
We can blow it and sow it
Like seeds in the air.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi Christopher. I really enjoyed this. I'm forever scratching my head as to why some poems get so many views and comments while equally good - and sometimes much better - poems don't. Cheers - Gary
