'Life.....Time' Poem by Linda Winchell

Life, I have found...........is more than the minutes......
of the day it takes up.......
But the things....... accomplished or learned in-between the seconds.

Time, well spent.......with a loved one.
Time, given...... to those who are in need of comfort
For they now......... have less to share.

Life, is.......... something never tasted
Now savored....... passing past your lips......
placing all of its unknown gifts......for your mind to........
recount and again relish.

Life.......should be longer.......was once my thought.
Now........just less of it.......and so much more.....in it to do.

A prayer......once waiting to be said for another.....
yet somehow.... slipping through the cracks of a day.....yet not forgotten.

Life, is.........that last perfect poem........never written.........
That song............you've......... yet to sing.
Where.............. does all that time go?

More than hands.........on a clock..........
More than mankind will ever grasp................ in time.
