The Passing of Your Time

THE PASSING OF YOUR TIME Time is of the essence As many folks would say But what about the time That has already passed away Did you use your time wisely Or did you let it go astray Then find yourself wishing You could choose to change a day What about the future time That lies ahead to one and all Will you make it be any different Than the year that's about to fall Make your time an asset If you make a plan at all Or it can be disastrous And the days just seem to crawl But if you seek to take a look Beyond your selfish wall You can make a difference When problems come to call So my advice to you my friend Is to demolish that selfish wall And see how quickly time has passed And the days no longer crawl 22 December 2019 For the contest Your Best New Poem Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emile Pinet
