Do Not Wait

The sky shines through the trees Blowing in the twilight breeze The sun sets upon another day Giving us a chance to find the way Time does not stop for us to decide Whether to keep moving or to hide The mountains wait for us to look Just like deep woods hold the brook There is a flow we need to find To capture the essence of being kind Because in a world brewing hate, There is never time for us to wait Heidi Sands 6/24/20

So wise. It is not time to wait, it is the time to listen, learn, and heal.

The time for change is right now. Not maybe or we will in due course, or it is on the agenda, take the bull by the horns and show the people that you mean business, bad cops have to be sorted out and the poor must be looked after - issues that have long been niggling and obvious no longer can be ignored. A lot however has been sensationalized by the news media. You have expressed your thoughts clearly and masterfully well penned Heidi. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer.

There is never time for us to wait.. lovely rhyme and you said the truth beautifully.. But world belongs to good and bad.. What you seek is what you get.. There is a global tendency for news channels to seek only bad..

Thank you Jenish. I don't have cable set up to see the news. I see enough on my phone. You are right. I hope you have a nice day :)

Hello Heidi … it wouldn't be hard to turn a back on society and admire nature to ease the tension that goes through our minds at times - thank you Heidi - Lindsay

I've never seen so much hate and division in the world. It seems we the non haters are being overwhelmed. I fear for the future. Tom

I agree Tom. I have never seen so much either. It is truly overwhelming. I always appreciate your kindness. Thank you :)
