“ A Little More Time ” ~ save to mark time ~

 

 

A little more time

To recall a mood

I’d left behind,

When early in life

I’d been too busy,

Save to mark time…

 

A little more time

To live with candour,

Discover my other,

Whom I’d forsaken

For visions of grandeur…

 

A little more time

To make room for soul,

Treated more kindly

More wisely than bold…

 

A little more time

To shake free shock

That life passes blindly,

Overriding the clock…

 

A little more time

To share a measure

Of neglected kindness,

And taste the pleasure                                           

Of compassionateness…

 

A little more time

To recapture the scent

Of evocative memories,

With all of their follies

As life chose be meant!
