Give Me Time

If only time were wiser
  and we in life more inspired
then perhaps this journey
  would be less filled with yearning
and each of us could gladly embrace
  the paths and scenery in this race.

But time, so quick is fleeting
  that we barely raise our greetings
then live and laugh and cry
  as the years pass by.

Give me time to do
  all the things I promised you
of mystery and magic beauties
  embodied by this living duties,
give me time to be me, unmasked
  it's really all of life I ask.

I enjoyed reading your poem. A lifetime is such a long time and there in lies the problem. We always think we have time, until time runs out, kindest regards, Kevin
