Time to Remember

It’s time to remember, When we hit December, How quickly the time seems to fly. We drift through life’s stages As calendar pages Proclaim that the year’s slipping by. We mark off the seasons For no other reasons Than habit and need to keep track, Yet the forward momentum Makes days – how we spent ‘em – Worth little, for we can’t go back. So each month we’re still living, There’s time for forgiving And blocking out things that annoy. Every day of the week We should wake up and seek Something out there to bring us some joy.
