Time

by *Charisma*   Sep 21, 2006


If time was an eraser
Wouldn't we all go back?
Undo mistakes we've made
Along the weathered track

Avoid pathways that hurt
Travel ones wiser and true
Be quicker with the smile
Slower with trusting you

Search a little harder
For our love, the only one
Protect our hearts more
They'll not be easily undone

We'd look for true friends
Who'd stay by our sides
Never come in contact
With those who'd cheated and lied

We'd remember that money
Only buys what catches dust
And it can't buy what's needed most
Unconditional love

We'd go home to our family
And put off our "work"
Spend those few hours
And from them not shirk

We'd say kind words we hadn't
That express what we feel
No longer denying it
Or them trying to conceal

But time isn't a vacation
You can never visit it twice
So now how will you live
The rest of your life?

    "We'd remember that money

    Trully wonderful sentiment. The whole poem was well worded and the flow was good.

    But time isn't a vacation
    You can never visit it twice
    So now how will you live
    The rest of your life?

    This was a great ending. Loved the inspiration of the piece.
