To be...

To be little again where

I'd once been

To belittle a friend

could one ever mend?

To be tall in height

tall to the sky

To be tall rather

than be little, then stop

and wonder why?

To all that is. To all that can be

To be blinded by all, all that you see

To whisper a whisper that

seems to shout back

To hear your heart break

while under attack

To breathe in life

yet forget to take it all in

To exhale your last breath,

to lose a dear friend

To every solution, for every equation

relies on an answer with simple

persuasion

To want back once it's lost

No need to savor, then it's tossed

Every penny dropped,

luck to someone who finds

To every precious moment you live

Treasure those times 

For every waking hour

to the minute of every passing day

don't waste a second, not a second

for life to slip away.....

I like this very much and I love the ending as that's a great thought---it's a feeling that I like to write about--thank you and keep on writing.

Every penny dropped, luck to someone who finds. To every precious moment you live, Treasure those times.

For every waking hour to the minute of every passing day, don't waste a second, not a second, for life to slip away.....

I like the flow, but found it hard to follow. Personal opinion (skalasoldier liked it).. but I like the lines to end and begin a new line within the flow.. the flow is there but a few returns would make it easier for ME to read... imho. nice poem.. keep writing!

Here is where I think the returns should be.. again as an opinion.. but helps me read it better, it is where I would take a breath if read outloud.
