I have so much to say so much to show so much of me I want to leave behind I don't fear death what I fear most is losing the battle against time I have so much to say so much to show so much of me I want to leave behind I don't fear death what I fear most is losing the battle against time AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted on June 26, 2021 for contest ALL YOURS (JUN 27) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on June 7, 2021

WoW! What a poignant piece this is. So many of us when we reach a certain point in life start thinking about our own mortality. I think the main thing we wonder is who is going to remember us and HOW will we be remembered. Will we be remembered for our mistakes or for the love we had for friends and relatives. Great job here. God Bless, JB

Lifes clock never stops ticking Line and seems to speed up as we get older and we find there's never enough hours in the day. Tom

Fantastic formatting Line, the Bold print of life fading away into fine print, adds particular meaningfulness, to this searching poem of inevitable demise, as a race against time, but hey you’ve only just retired, so hopefully time is on your side, cheers David
