Time Keeps Ticking Away

Time keeps ticking away

Written By Dean Masciarelli

September 6, 2010 (3:40pm)


Time keeps ticking away
and 
the days keep slipping by

And you would rather stay 
inside of your bed all day
far away from everybody
then giving life another try

Because you feel like it is
much safer being that way

But don’t let another day 
go by 
living your life so foolishly 

By sleeping every 
moment of it away

Because the good Lord has bigger 
and better things in store for you
you just have to be willing to try
by not letting fear stand in your way

Thanks so much for commenting on my poetry, I think this poem of yours really hits home for me, so often I just want to stay home in my cozy nest and feel safe, but I force myself to go out in the world, and I am always happy I did...you captured those feelings in your poem, perfectly,.. Love Constance
