John Christoper Pajo Poet Rhyme

Do Not Gamble with Time

Do not gamble your time away
with the indecisiveness you play.
The heavier resolve you pray,
the longer will it take to pay.

Don't just waste your time today.
You have to move and chase your prey.
You may be worried about delays,
but beyond that, you will be okay.

Listen to what time conveys.
See what it wants to portray.
You are with time along the way.
Respond to what it hopes to say.

Uncertainty may come into play,
But never run, be bold -don't sway.
Embrace a heart that won't betray
between precious moments and what may.

When choices dance in shades of gray,
Of which nostalgia begged you to stay.
Summon courage, free from dismay,
to the unknown, forbids no foray.
Whatever beast may come your way, 
Just do not gamble your time away.

Pajo, John Christoper I
