So Little Time

for life.

so little time to laugh

so little time to weep

so little time to dream when we're awake and when asleep

so little time to remember

so little time to forget

so little time to learn from an error and regret

so little time to pause

so little time to rush

so little time to listen to our heart's constant hush

so little time to feel

so little time to see

so little time to discover who we are meant to be

so little time to lose

so little time to live

so little time to rejoice after the decision to forgive

so little time to hate

so little time to love

so little time to prepare for what's waiting us above.

Such a short life.

... So little time. And yet so many wasted moments. How many times have we stood wasting time as precious minutes drifted past us unheeded. Like a whisper on the wind, they evaporate into nothing, and we're left wondering where the time went, wishing that we could've "lived" them. But what does it mean to "live" in truth? A question worth asking perhaps... Even as time slips away in the asking. Good work, Arzel. Keep it up.

I always find your wistful sentiments wonderful, Landred. Please keep pondering on life's truth and tell me what you know. Haha. Glad to hear from you again. Thank you.

Can't stop myself musing, friend. With any luck, i may stumble on some wisdom.

You seem to be stumbling all the time, Landred. You are a blessed klutz. :P

[KAin]

Hah! That's quite the compliment. Thanks :-)

Such a poignant reminder of the passing time. Sands of time, slowly slipping away. The more we grasp, the more it slips from our hand.

I love your perspective on this, Anna. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

And yes, all of those what you said are true so we have only one thing to do: "Live life to the fullest."

"So many things to say
So many things to do
So many things to achieve but love's what I want from you"



This is fair and relevant. Enjoy your life, sis!
