Nearest

Right now
Is all
We have.
Yesterday
Is gone
And
Tomorrow
Isn't here
Yet.
So let
Us live
In a way
That will
Allow us
To learn
But not
Hold
Regrets.
This is
Of
The utmost
Importance.

Break The Clocks

I wish
Time would
Just
Slow
Down.
Just for
A minute.
To capture
These moments
These all-too-
Fleeting
Moments.
These
Precious
Moments.

Wanting More

Beautiful day
But the time went by
Too fast.
How can I grasp
This fleeting thing
So it can last?

Next Time

There might
Never
Be a
Next time.
So spend
Your
This-time,
Your
Now-time
Wisely.

Like You

Something like
Today
Will never
Be again
Because
It's lived
And spent
And now
It's just
A memory
Kept.

Time in a Bottle

Pretty little
Moments to be
Bottled up
And treasured.
Saved and later
Measured.
Remembered for
The pleasure
They gave us
The moment
That they
Happened.

One Less Day

Just a little left today
Before it's time
To put away
Everything
For just one night
Until it's time
To set things right
Again.

Appreciation

Newness
Is upon us
And are we
Aware?
A new day,
A new month,
A new attitude
All to be claimed.
So let us rise
To the occassion
And rise with the day
To appreciate the gifts
We are given.

Thankful

Days
Spent
Together
Nothing
Could be
Better.
Loving
All this
Time
That's yours
And that is
Mine.

About Time

Beautiful.
Time is beautiful.
When you have it,
Cherish it.
When you see it,
Savor it.
When you have it,
Hold onto it
With both hands.

Save The Old

Confusing time
Says it's new.
But save the old,
For what
I do not know.
So let me show
The truth in this.

Dozen

Painful and
Difficut -
But also
Beautiful and
Precious
Years of
Blessing,
Understanding
The gift we
Have
The gift of
Time

Past And Future

Looking forward
Looking back
Wondering how
I lost track.
I want the future
But I want to learn
From my mistakes,
So, transform me -
Then, turn around and
Transform me again.

Re-Evaluation

Thinking of packing
And waiting and writing
Dividing attention and
Wasting my time.
But time isn't wasted when
It is invested in those
We love.
So, now, and again
I'm thinking of packing,
And waiting and writing,
Giving my full attention
And savoring my time.

Vision

Looking forward
To tomorrow.
Looking back
To yesterday.
Looking around
At the here and now.
And looking ahead
To someday.

Time Well-Spent

Time flies
So spend it wisely.
Be with friends
And be with
Family.
Because we know with
Each day
That passes -
Tomorrow is not
Guaranteed us.

Puzzle Piece

Back in time
To yesterday
Back ten years
To high school days.
Classrooms
Classmates
Warm-ups
Songs,
Back to the
Same place -
But now
I belong.

Live Life Abundantly

What more could I ask for
Than time with family?
Actually,
What more could I ask for
Than time?
Because it's not a guarantee
And though I don't stop
And appreciate that
As much as I should
I am now.
Because this could have easily
Been our first holiday as less
Than a whole family.
But we were all here today
Talking about places of old,
And potato canals
And even if nothing of substance
Was said,
We were together
Which is the deepest substance
Of a family.

Beautiful For Ordinary

There are times -
Far too many -
When I fail to realize
Or remember
The significance
Of a moment.
Is it human nature,
Or is it just my own
That I mistake
Beautiful for ordinary,
And forget life-changing
Times?

Timeframe

Looking to the future
By looking at the past -
And the passing of life
Into death.
The startling fact
Is that
In too short a time
The future and all its
Nearness,
Envelopes our illusion of time
And becomes
The present.
