A hint of yesterday dances in my mind
of days past and deeds long done
but I know better than to look behind
for it is forward that we find the sun
there is no time to lament or regret
life is too precious to waste that way
we should spend wisely all we get
investing in at least one smile every day
I guess I must be feeling my age
as these thoughts tumble in my head
finding their way slowly to the page
rather happy I made it out of bed
life is meant to be lived, enjoyed
not filled with worry and stress
time to experience and feel buoyed
we would cheat ourselves to do less
so time to stop this writing for now
and get on with being one with the day
before I get caught up and forget how
then after work it wil be time to PLAY!!!
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
title; a time to play
