Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Squandered Time

Time of our youth squandered wasted
In vast incomprehensible quantities

Ah to get that time back
To have made the most of 
Those hours days months and years

Curiosity easily converted to passion
With the slightest encouraging push

Expanding the mind always pays off
Transforms futures and opens doors

Silent One March 12, 2018 at 7:44 AM yes, we realise when we are older.. some never do though and that is sad.. Line Gauthier March 12, 2018 at 9:12 AM Very sad indeed. Thanks for your visit and comment, SO. Much appreciated.

Maria Williams March 11, 2018 at 11:55 PM So true Line, and yet if we live for the day and not worry about the past except to gain experience from it, perhaps we can get back some of that time we think we have squandered. ...Maria Line Gauthier March 12, 2018 at 9:12 AM Yes, we do try to make up for lost time in any way we can. Thanks for your visit and comment, Maria. Much appreciated.
