TIME

I have killed time.

I have squandered it.

I have lost days, weeks …

As a man of great wealth might drop coins on the street

And never look back.

I know now that there will be an end, a limit.

But there IS time.

Valuable and precious time.

To walk, talk, breathe.

Time to touch, taste, care.

To warm the child,

Who is cold and lonely.

There is time to love.

I promise myself I will.
