Time Poem by Lawerence Mize, Sr.

Some people ask...
for more time and say,
'Please Lord, give me
just one more day.
Life passes so swiftly
One minute, an hour, a day
An allotment of time
So easily wasted away.
Others wonder
'What can I do? '
Reach out for the many
or hug a few.
I just want to feel
The sun on my face
Close my eyes
Hear my heart race.
Don't want to cry
Think of things to be missed
Know a tender kiss
Would be at the head of that list.
So, thank you Lord
For the memories and years
This beautiful day...so wonderful
It leaves me in tears.
