Days fly by
Like birds on wing
Flutter, gone

Past-Present-Future
Life
Is short
Waste not.
Time is precious
Record memories.
Capture each moment
But dont dwell there, move on.
Fixate your mind on the future.
Wake every morning and proclaim:
“The Past has no Present in my Future”

Thanks to my daughter, Laura, for the last line which inspired me to write this poem.
Three Things
Time, Money, Life,
All spent daily
How quickly they go
Syllable Lune
Push Pause
Hurraying to work
Just not enough hours in the day
Stop and smell the roses
Haiku
On the Corner
Seems just yesterday!
Where has the time gone?
I stood in that booth
Needing loose change, asking
“Brother can you spare a dime?”
Tanka
Biding
Sitting and waiting
Time goes so very slow
Waiting and sitting
Senryu
Traveling Time
Trying to hold it back
But Time wont wait for me
It just wants to flee
It’s Seconds keep on running
No, Time won’t wait for me
Tanka
Mirrored Memories
Mirror reflection
Place time long forgot
Memories of home
Haiku
Opportunity
Opportunity won’t wait
As the hand of time extends
Act and don’t procrastinate
Opportunity won’t wait
Grab it before it’s too late
Seek before the chance ends
Opportunity won’t wait
As the hand of time extends

In 2011 I was offered the opportunity to attend College part time. I was in my elder years and had never had the chance previously to attend college. Seeing this as a once in a lifetime opportunity for me , I took the chance and enrolled as a part-time student in Web Design. It has been a challenge and a long road but yesterday I graduated with Honors! I am very happy to have had the opportunity to do this!
Today’s Gift
Life!
Each day
Gives us
Twenty four hours
That we may freely use.
Each day we get to choose
How we will spend our minutes.
Do we take time to think
Upon this or just let life pass?
How will you use today’s gift of life?
