Waste Not, Want Not.....

A Picture of Life.

A picture paints a thousand words, or so the lyrics say,

But the one that I hold dearest, in a most peculiar way,

Is a photograph of sunset that I took last year,

And the message that it sent to me it brought a mournful fear.

It warned me that a great day must always pass on by,

A week, a month and even years are times that somehow fly.

And if we waste one moment, of this most precious gift,

The years unfold, we’ll soon be old, and never notice it.

So greet tomorrow’s sunrise and praise the breaking day,

Then bow your head, a prayer said, no need to kneel to pray.

And thank your God, for the gift of life, and never waste such time,

Then you’ll know why, the years they fly, for you and yours and mine.
