Life…why are you
spinning so?
Spinning so fast,
crazy, out of control?
This world is
aged and needs to slow down,
Like the simple,
slow cadence of a rural small town.
We've no time
for the really important ones,
And disappointment
comes to our family and friends . . .
As we no longer
have time for the deeds we should do . . .
Just because survival
demands immediate necessities.
"I'm sorry, can't
help it, whatever . . . "
Somehow doesn't
seem to "cut it" anymore.
"Mommy we want
to," "you'll just have to wait,!"
Echo within the
walls of my brain.
"But, I want to,
I need to, please listen."
And my answering
pleas,
The words ring
so hollow, and they sound insincere,
So awkward, and
excuses so weak.
Nothing should
be more important
than our families,
our children, our loves,
in spite of this
spinning, crazy old world
we need to take
time just to STOP!
For we'll not
always have Dad here to chat with,
And Mom to just
call up and "talk."
Our children could
not be here tomorrow,
too late, for
that "little walk" . . .
Take the time
to do the important things,
for survival will
handle itself
don't put "living"
in front of your family and friends
because within
them lies all of your wealth.
I wrote this little
poem just today dears,
not just to you,
but for me
because we all
need constant reminders
of how we should
really be.
