Freedom At Last

Time waits for no man A very true quotation When you are young Time has no limitations Summer days seem endless Time to stand and stare Time did not matter There was lots of it to spare Spare time, what is that I should like to know I find life today so busy Is it because I've become slow My mind is never still I want to shout out STOP! I have much to do Before I slowly DROP It's not worth wondering What should I have done Would, should or could To me is a conundrum Opportunities not given Some I could have had and lost Too shy, not daring enough All at a cost A cost of what? The life I've had Was given to me Whether the gift was good or bad Genes, circumstance, time and place All come into this equation I accepted this gift intact There was no way of an erasion Making the best of things While I am here on Earth Trusting that I will get my wings That will provide FREEDOM and REBIRTH

Wonderful poem..I accepted this gift intact..What a wonderful statement...what I experience is, time is a cheater..when I'm happy, he runs fast..When I'm sad he slows down..
