Time is precious and can't be bought anyone self employed should relate to this poem

 Time Waits For No One

 
I live a busy life
Full of lots of strife
 
No time to play or rest
Try to do my best
 
Life is slipping away
No time again today
 
I would like to write a poem
But again I have to roam
 
I seem to have lost my brakes
As work is all it takes
 
Lord slow down the clock
Give me time to stop
 
I need to smell the roses
I know you guided Moses
 
Time just slips away
Seldom time to play
 
Once gone all time is lost
Through life you pay the cost.
 
Luke

I owned a restuarant for 8 years. 90 hours plus a week were the norm, so I can relate to your poem. Those 8 years are nothing but a blur to look back on. I lost much more than I gained.

It's good to be busy. The opposite can be near torture… just as the unemployed and those who could no longer work or write.

I thought I would be able to write more when I retired. Strangely, I have actually been writing less now that I have all the time in the world to do it. Lots of time fillers have moved in to take the place of when I worked.

It is often hard to balance our lives between work and play, the younger we are the harder it is, if we are lucky as we grow old we may get some reprieve, or we may not, when you get the chance, give it all you got, sending thoughts of understanding your way, have a blessed Sunday dear poet xo

Give the Lord a break, and make that valuable time you so desperately wish come true by your own efforts, and as I said, Give the Lord a Break. Stop whining and do it yourself. Sincerely hope you don't take umbrage with my comments . . .
