My daughter loved my poem called “Time” from my book “BIRTH“, so she asked me to do one specially for her so I had to write a part 2 – check out “Time” in my book available on Amazon.com.

==========================================================

My mom told me that time was longer than rope
So I’d use seconds, minutes, hours, days,
Weeks, months , years trying to measure my time
I eventually ran out of rope but couldn’t run out of time
Time after time, I was caught wasting time searching for lost time
Not knowing which was the right time,
As often times I’d find the time but It’d be the wrong time,
Even in class at exam time, I’d fail the tests of time
Then wished I had more time,
And that’s how it goes most times,
But no worries, I’ll catch up with it next time.
You know how much time I spend
Like I knew how to make time
Doing everything times 2, hoping for twice as much time
But still ending up doing them one at a time.
Changed watches daily thinking I’m moving from time to time,
But only ended up with time on my hands.
For my goals I set timelines then tried to cross the line in record time, But half way through I’d time out and take a time check,
Check my timing, paced myself before I time in,
Watching as I realize that I have to be timely,
Knowing how best to use my time wisely.
I remember this one time when it wasn’t the best of time
Nor the worst of time, I was trying to make the most of time
Until eventually there came a time when I realized that I must organize my time,
So I calculated how my time comes and goes using a timetable
Hoping my distribution of time would be manageable
I tried saving time hoping to gain more time from the interest of time,
Started to invest time so I won’t ended up being time less,
But as life has it, we only have limited time so we must act with timeliness if we are to become timeless.
