Five Minutes More

I wish I had that second back a minute ago. I wish I had that minute back when we laughed over a comic strip that reminded us of ourselves. I wish I had a basket full of minutes I could give away to everyone that wanted a piece of yesterday or tomorrow, or, would I be selfish and keep them all to myself? If I had five minutes, would I use them all at once or would I save one or two for some other time; like a stack of unread letters, would I open the best first or save those for last, to ponder in a quiet place, or would I share them with...let me think about that - and then I realized how hopeless I would feel. Could I go back and share them on 9/11 or the Boston Marathon or Pearl Harbor or Sandy Hook or Hiroshima or...but then I knew there weren't enough, there would never be enough to give back - and to whom anyway...? How would you choose who to save? I guess God would say, "Make the best of your minutes today and you won't wish you had them back tomorrow".
