'Save Some Time For Me' Poem by Linda Winchell

Have our lives become so busy and taken up
that there's no time to save for me?
When once, not too long ago
You were that babe, I did bounce upon my knee.

You joined the Army and use to write a lot
and sent sweet cards, to let me know that you cared.
But now you'll not take some time for me
not one minute can you seem to spare.

I'll be here if you still one day might need me
I'm your Mom for heavens sake!
I'll always make room for you my child
That is if you can spare a minute to make.

Well I have to say in closing
I've not felt so good of late.
I hope you'll save some time to say goodbye
Before it ends up, in time a regretted mistake.
