Lifetime Hours

Some folk spend their lifetime hours
Watering fading plastic flowers
Many are trapped in memory
Unable to cope with reality

Some spend their lives adrift
Ne'er charting a course for lifetime's ship
Most are devoid of spiritual mirth
While chasing things of material worth

Yet, a precious few are able to see
A treasury of opportunity
Embedded within each moment divine
Are paths for expression of heart and mind

Such folk spend their lifetime hours
Sharing their gifts and spiritual flowers
Providing lifelines for humanity
Honoring love's supremacy

Thank you Gwen, and this is so true too. I spend countless daytime, andnightime hours too, helping others like myself. This is very real and very beautiful. It is too bad that the message will be missed by quite a few readers.

With best wishes always,

your friend,
Barbara

An excellent write about those who do and share, as opposed to those who don't and wallow in their own prisons. Thank you.

Peace.

Most beautiful Gwen!!

At first I thought this was about a person trapped in a "Catatonic " state of mind.

But you proved me wrong!!

This is really balanced and moves well, and the meaning is something everyone should be required to read.

Very good is this piece more of less timidly chastising those who drown in their sorrow that there is more life left, if they but reach for it. Good.

This says it all with supreme affection and tenderness Gwen
Yes, we should always pass on our Love and Compassion to those less endowed !
It's a hard life, and we should always try and make it easier for others to survive and thrive !
