Time

 Time

Ladies and Gentlemen

It's time to go home,

and love your loved ones,

and step into your destiny.

We have but

a brief moment

of time

on this earth.

It passes

as a flower fades,

and if we are not

quick to pursue

our God given dreams,

we will look back,

wondering

how days

turned

into months

turned 

into years,

and we didn't notice

until it was too late.

Time is not

on our side.

It never was,

as a temporary measure

to help us make

sense of our days,

and giving form

to the yesterdays, todays and tomorrows.

We do not sit easily with time,

rushing or procrastinating,

or dawdling along life's path,

until suddenly we come 

to a milestone,

we were not expecting,

and would rather not know,

as we learn we have run out of

time.
