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!

This one has shades of 'Cat in the Cradle' - to me, anyway!

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

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.

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

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

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
