Time Enough
April 26th, 2009
If I could stay awake
hours on end
for days or
bend time to my will,
I wonder would it be
time enough to
gaze read listen write
play love laugh
cry dance walk
swing high, run fast
eat and drink tasting fully?
Enough time to
do to cherish
to savor
all that beckons to me
before I’m forced
to let go of
my time here?
I think of this now
because there
never seems to be enough.
And yet I have faith
that when I’m gone from here
I won’t care what I missed.
