Shrunken By Half

Shrunken By Half At work my time is spent Again, energy I expend To work is quite okay had there a room to play. I’m fan belt on rollers Stretched to all the limit Lusting cents and dollars- It’s true I must admit. Half of me am family Whom to spare its time To Love and not be wily In every adverse clime. Half of the other part; work and its heavy load Two parts of me apart Yet spinning in one road. The antagonistic speed One side of me will shrink Which one would I need? My Family I should think! 03rd Oct’ 2013

Joseph The age old question. Spend quality time with the family, or work for money. I would rather have a few less dollars to spend on material things and enjoy the time with family. Cause time goes by too fast. Thanks for the wonderful and flattering comment on my Heart Will Burn poem
