What's the hurry?A Poem by Michelle GentTake your time.
What's the Hurry?-
Be patient, slow down Don't rush the phases of your life The stages and ages of the best years of your life Just so you can say you're another year older So you can stay up late Walk to school Sit in the front seat of the car Have a sleep over Go to the prom Graduate college Get a job Get married Have a child Have another Be a grandmother Have aches and pains Go to your husbands funeral Get dementia and stare at the ceiling Wake up before it's too late and live Each day is a gift not to be wasted away Taking it for granted and taking it easy Because before you know it, it's the end And you haven't accomplished half of what you had planned And your shaking hands with old age, staring it in the mirror Wishing you could do it all over again, promising this time you'll change © 2015 Michelle GentReviews
