Time Is Wasted. Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Everyone wants something
and though it makes no sense
we all have our excuses
for sitting on the fence
Content to wait till later
for what could be today
watching all of those tomorrows
turn to yesterdays
We never fully understand
how different life could be
if only we would take a chance
and act upon our dream
The days turn into weeks and months
the months too soon to years
those dreams get buried in the ruts
and all but disappear
Precious time is wasted
on making do with less
afraid to take the leap of faith
and find true happiness.
