The Door Is Closing

Haven't finished what I've started
  I'm running low on fuel
So much left unaccomplished
  Father Time, you're too cruel 

I feel the door closing
  My life nears its end
Dare my work I set aside
  My relationships to mend

Interesting and well penned poem, Gershon. Time waits for no man, it seems. Best of wishes. :)

You're certainly right about that: Tim waits for no man (or woman either). :) gw

Relationships we can leave untended while we work but which is greater?!

I'm hoping that when my door shuts I won't know anything about it. I hope it closes quickly, must oil those hinges for that to happen. Tom

Interesting that you are the first to leave a comment, Line. I really did have you in mind when I wrote this, as I sense this theme weighs on you too lately. ~ Still striving -- for what is the alternative? :) gw
