Squandered Time

Time of our youth squandered wasted In vast incomprehensible quantities Ah to get that time back To have made the most of Those hours days months and years Curiosity easily converted to passion With the slightest encouraging push Expanding the mind always pays off Transforms futures and opens doors AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on September 27, 2018 for contest LINES OF TEN THAT REMIND YOU WHAT IT WAS LIKE BACK THEN sponsored by SILENT ONE Originally posted on March 11, 2018

Expanding the mind always pays off. This has an optimistic and sage ending.

So true Line, and yet if we live for the day and not worry about the past except to gain experience from it, perhaps we can get back some of that time we think we have squandered. ...Maria
