There's always a time for goodbyes
And a time to sit down and cry
Time to breathe deep and sigh
And at the end of your life, to die

There's always time for a smile
Time to run the rest of the mile
Time for hugging your friends awhile
And time for looking through old files

Time for a minute of listening
Looking at raindrops that are glistening
Even some sweet times for kissing
And always time for bitter-sweet missing

There's time in your life to remember
To feel the warmth of love's embers
Time to spend with family members
And for hot chocolate in December

Always some time to be spontaneous
Looking at the stars to make a wish
If you like, there's time to fish
Or to sit down and eat your favorite dish

There's always time for a drink
Time to sit quietly and think
Time to enjoy a bath so you don't stink
And time in life to pass on a wink

There's always time for another dance
Time for a little love and romance
And for that extra second glance
It's your life, there's time...dare to take the chance

There's always time to do something for yourself even when you don't think there is.  And it's suprising how good you feel after taking that extra minute in the day just for you.  Don't be afraid to be a minute late so your friend can have the hug they need so badly.  Or so you can dance one more time with that special someone.  Life's not a race to win.  It's something to be treasured and enjoyed.  Live it for you, not rest of the world.  May everyone find the happiness that's waiting for them. Always, BWA



With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

BWA....

Wow! How wonderful this is....all to often people rush around missing the most important things in life....but, being a single mom with 2 children and a full-time job...I still try my best to remember that the dishes will wait long enough for me to read them that story or steal one more hug...thanks.

Best

Wise advise to slow down or regret it later!
Really enjoyed this one!
And...I love the the rhyming scheme in each stanza, I don't think that was too easy to do!
