Many Wishes

The quite relentless flow of days
Goes marching on and nothing stays
Exactly as it is right now.
I'd like to slow that tide somehow.
There is so much I plan to do.
The hours seeming far too few.
Although I try to make them be
Productive, still it seems to me
The day is done and there are still
So many wishes, left to fill.
But in the path of such a force
As moving time, I am, of course,
A speck of flotsam, carried on
Till my tomorrows are all gone!



Betty Lou Hebert

Dear Marge:  If anyone can float against the tide, I think it would be you!! If you succeed, I'd like to know how!

Ron says "hi" back and sends his love.

Dear lady I feel that I'm swimming against the tide and upstream constantly. And I thank you for the word, flotsam, a word I had to look up. Yep, there's lots of that floating on the horizon also! Darn it!!

I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you.

Hugs, Marti

Marti:  I guess "flotsam" is not a word you hear very often. I should have added a p.s. to explain it. Glad you enjoyed it!
