There Is Still Time

Sometimes, a day will come when we
Know we are where we're meant to be.
In spite of vain pursuit of schemes,
Or harboring some secret dreams,
Reality intrudes to say
This is your detiny today!

A window opens in time's wall.
Then glancing in, I can recall,
There is so much I should have seen.
Remembering what might have been,
From all of life that's gone before,
I wish that I had noticed more!

But here I am, with loss and gains
All totaled up and what remains,
Leaves little time to compensate
For my mistakes.Is it too late,
Or does this reckoning declare,
There is still time for soul repair?

It's a lovely poem Betty, but I donn't know anyone who is more aware of her surroundings than you are.  Love, Joyce

a long, long look~

Oh ... 'scuse me ... there was soooo much to see,

Love this ... and love you~

Dear Joyce:  Thank you for those kind words! I was gone for a few days, taking Ron camping before it's too late in the season. Glad to be back!

never look back. something might be gaining on you.. Isn't that what life is? decisions. some good. some not?

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
