Time

Time is a delicacy
topping the options on a very pricy menu.
You cannot stop it.
You cannot contain it.
Babies grow up.
Parents grow old.
Things ache and creak.
But that very thing that seems so unaffordable
is the only thing you really have.

Time

Cherish every second.
Roll on the floor with the babies.
Sit and listen to your parents.
Tend to your aches and embrace the creaks.
It is life.
It is beautiful.
It is precious.

Time

Stop every now and again.
Recognize the beauty around you.
Count your many abundant blessings.
Enjoy the gifts that abound nearby.
Time is not an enemy.
Time is yours.
Use it wisely.
