Before Time is Done
In this world of a glutton,
We have expensive taste!
We waste a lot of money,
But it’s mostly time we waste!
With all the time savers
And the great inventions…
We have a lot less time,
Despite our good intentions!
So where does time go?
Is it stuck in broken clocks?
Is it in a time capsule,
With all the missing socks?
Is it looking for its’ mother?
Is it looking for Father Time?
Will your inner clock expire

If she is not asleep
What happened to the time
And where’s our time to keep?

We’re waiting for an answer
But even she is running late!
When we do have the time
We really love to spend it!
When we don’t have any time
We really hate to end it!

Your time is just like gold
You will surely know this
By the time you grow old!
You better find the time
To spend with your loved ones
Let them know you love them
Before all your time is d
This poem ends with a scribble and a big inc blot but I could not transfer the inc blot to this format... the idea is that I passed away and I ran out of time so I could not quite finish the poem!

Great Write!
I like this poem about time. We spent last summer in Italy, and an Italian man i met asked me "why do Americans rush through their day?" he said we should be more like the Italians, take a long lunch, close the doors to the businesses and RELAX....or our time will be up sooner than we think.
I think he's right. love the poem yobarney! keep it up!

Joyce... Thank you again... I'm going to have to take you and Linda everywhere I go to help boost my ego!
I wish you could see what it looks like with the scribble and the ink blot at the end .. It took me many hours and days to get the scribble and blot right... I'm glad you like it!
