Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Finding the Time

Too busy, unavailable
In a hurry, late for work
Gotta run, can't talk now
   Not a spare second
   Maybe next week

I'm on a tight schedule
Already overbooked
Take a number (LOL)
   Can I get back to you?
   Who has time these days?

We can't seem to find the time
   Can we?

Uh, Just a second...Who's this?
Oh sure, boss. Right now is fine
   No time like the present, I always say...

Find time? --
Make time!
Please.
Care.
For everyone.
No exceptions.
All the time.
Thank you!

Michelle Faulkner May 11, 2019 at 4:14 PM This one has shades of 'Cat in the Cradle' - to me, anyway! Gershon Wolf May 11, 2019 at 10:18 PM Hey, you're right about 'Cat in the Cradle' and this poem. Thanks for the comment. Hadn't thought of it that way, but it's right there. :) gw

Jennifer Proxenos May 10, 2019 at 1:30 PM Life is so fast and stressful that we are slowly killing ourselves - I absolutely know the feeling, but this afternoon we saw a fatal, disastrous accident on the highway and it made me think where were these people rushing to, rather be half an hour late than the 'late Mr. ...... or Mrs. .... or Miss... ! And I agree with you, we must make time for others! Hugs, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf May 10, 2019 at 3:16 PM You are so right, Jennifer. I think we find, though, that at first we need to make time for others. Soon, however, it becomes natural, the obviously right thing to do. Thank you for your support. Best wishes, Gershon

Tom Cunningham May 10, 2019 at 12:59 PM I just don't miss those days at all when I was working it was like that. Got out with my sanity although my wife thinks otherwise lol. Tom Gershon Wolf May 10, 2019 at 3:14 PM Tom, you get the prize for the funniest comment of the day with that one... By the way, are we married to the same woman? My wife feels the same way about me. LOL. ~ Gershon
