Slice Of Life Important Life Themes Poem by Terence George Craddock

time was precious pressing time was urgent
time was flecks of gold too rare too limited
there were perspective life themes I needed to write

I slice of life I had to write I tried to write
important under microscope themes in need of writing
as decades passed sliced diced themes I wrote

a poem or two or more upon many such urgent themes
life themes I identified prioritised which whispered
screamed themes to be need written with grateful heart

with relieved heart if actually written if miracle written well
I can finally say a few beautiful heart warming poems were written
a few inspired by poet friends met along the way were insight

gift written;
so much of our lives;
which still survives

by poetry was written;
into rich gold seams;
in other poet lives
