My 25 Hour Day

If I could just have more time!

There is never enough hours in the day!

Going here and going there.

No time for a breath of fresh air!

If I could reinvent the clock I would do things differently.

I would add an extra hour of time.

I would scramble like a high octane woman. 

Just to enjoy this 25th hour of mine!

I would use this hour to soak up more sunshine.

To stand amidst the shade trees.

To listen to the awesome sounds of nature.

To roll around in a pile of autumn leaves!

I would selfishly savor this extra hour.

Not sharing it with anyone else.

But just to take some time with my Creator.

And unravel from the stress of this life.

The 25th hour would be all mine.

I could do with it whatever I please.

The rest of the world would have to place their clocks on hold.

Just so they could catch up with me!
