The elder poet

A LIFE TIME.

As I look into the sky so blue .The clouds they float high above me.

Rays of sunshine penetrate . To touch lightly upon the earth.

 I lay on my blanket of green grass and look up and wonder.

In what life line am I in ? I know not in the beginning . 

But am I in the middle of time or closer to the end?

Our life as we know it is so short. Fifty, seventy, or ninety years .

Just a speck of time in this world that has seen so many things of splender\'

But has also seen lives start and end. A world that has seen Gods and wars.

A world that has seen men on the moon. Seeking new planets to survey.

What will the nex\'t two thousand years bring?

New cures for the ill ? Help for the homeless? 

A new world where we don\'t have throw away children.

Life should be the most valuable thing in this world.

Because it puts you into this world and only time can take it away.

Enjoy the sky so blue. Wonder what is above each cloud.

But wonder . Alway\'s wonder about the world we live in. 

Treasure each moment . Hold tight to every friend .

Because a good friend is so hard to find.

True loves need only to be found once. For they are for a lifetime. 

And a lifetime is never what we think it to be. 

We don\'t really want to know what a life time is . Now do we?
