Time

don't look for the flaws
as you go through life 
even when you find them by accident 
it is wise & kind to be somewhat blind 
and look for the virtue behind them 
life is to short to waste
slow down if your moving to fast 
time is once 
carefully choose and decide well 

but then again I aint wise or kind 
But I am blind 
Blind to see all that 
yet I know
but blind to take my own advice.........
