I, having been guilty before Of turning my back upon here and now Casting a blind eye against What a child once vowed I will treasure time above all else I will savor every feeling felt Begged forgivenesses offered up Small tokens this time too late For time is not the friend I imagined Nor is he willing to wait Will not dwell on what the wise cannot see I must contend with what is before me Drowned under the weight of it all Lord knows I have myself to blame Going down into depths unexplored Of moments unrestrained I shall gather all of these tears That fall with the swiftness of the years For that is all that is promised And only on that will I dwell Being that you cannot return And where you go, no one tells Everything else lies under shroud So I too, will live for right now |

~jerry... Begged forgivenesses offered up Small tokens this time too late For time is not the friend I imagined Nor is he willing to wait Will not dwell on what the wise cannot see I must contend with what is before me ~very good stuff here!  ~s |
