for a moment I wondered
did you understand what has passed
are you aware of the clouds
of the sand that touches your feet

I know you think daily wise
of bills and teeth cleanings
but more wisely you should think
of the whole life you are leading

but again you just sigh
saying I am thinker not a doer
never realizing that without thinking
nothing worthwhile will ever be done

So I sit here while you scutlle
I dream my dreams and love it
not satisfied by just a balanced book
but planning for a balanced life

JamesBowie,

"So I sit here while you scutlle
I dream my dreams and love it
not satisfied by just a balanced book
but planning for a balanced life.."

I have to agree completely.  To many people get to wrapped up in their day to day stress and forget to that they need to relax and just have fun every once and awhile   I liked this

why so many pass on treadmills?
missing all the dales all the hills.

Thanks, J.B.

I am trying to do that...a lot harder than it seems now *s

You surely must be the twinbrother of my husband (LOL)

but again you just sigh
saying I am thinker not a doer

That's my husband all over

never realizing that without thinking
nothing worthwhile will ever be done

I don't agree with these lines, for I don't think a lot about tomorrow, but I sure as h.l
are doing worthwile things (at least that's what I think, LOL)

Very nice poem.
