Everyday, I go to work Never thinking of the things That make all the difference in my heart Things like Mama is graying Daddy is walking more slowly Uncle David is in pain Aunt Judy’s life is full ~ I never think of the things that matter The times we should be sharing Before it is too late for the moments The family get togethers ~ Time doesn’t slow down for anyone And it will come around my way Reminding me that I didn’t take it To give of my heart and spirit To make a way to share a quiet day To find some time to answer a question To let go of my worries and just be fun For a moment, there in the sun ~ Everyday, I go on to work Never looking at the things that matter The lost moments that I could spend with one Who is a true treasure, a God given blessing Someone who I’m meant to spend time with In heartfelt exchanges of heartfelt expressions ~ Everyday, I continue on the path I’ve taken Without truly thinking that there will come a time When I won’t have the chance to be there for them These people who I love with all the compassion I have These people who mean the entire world to me These people who I call my friends and family

Good message, but don't be too hard on yourself saying every day you go to work never looking at the things that matter. I am sure you DO think about them a lot more than you say, REgina.

We all hurry through the passages of life, not stopping to relax with those we love until it's too late...i learned at a young age time waits for no one...take those minutes to visit or talk, they will be good memories to recall one day... love this one Gina..beautiful penning, love and blessings....
