Take New Years Slowly

The year does now approach its end
As months have quickly gone away
What message does time really send,
As we welcome the New Years Day?

Must we hasten or quickly greet
Each day is if it was the last?
Or, quickly say to those we meet
Hurry up or this shall pass?

Grab on now to the second hand
Let time then be within your grip
But appreciate it; the moving sand
Or else then time away, will slip

It would be so much nicer if we could learn this while we were still young, but alas it is not to be. I love the Braveheart quote "every man dies,,,not every man lives". Nice Job Michael. Laurie By the way thanks for your comments they were very sweet.
