Not Enough Time

"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
                                   Phyllis McGinley, Writer,  1905 - 1978

Transporting you all through each moment of every second
then whisking your thought’s through empty space
a thief of life and then welcoming death to all the living
while waiting for each second to appear and then, just disappearing

time just wasting away through man’s toy’s and creations
with thought’s of the future that we will never see, now wasted
for none can see the future only the present is just wasting away
running though life as if we will see tomorrow thinking,

I will just wait until tomorrow to say: I Love You
three words that may never be heard if you don’t say it, today

WoW! Bobby, What a well written and thought provoking write. Time waits for no one. We must tell our loved ones how much we love them today. Because tomorrow is not promised to any one. Well done.Best wishes in the contest. Have a good evening- Alexis
