Bear with me everyone I am still trying to write the ultimate inspirational poem for myself and my friends, I'll do it up as a Xmas gift or something!!
So here is another attempt!!  Joel I know it's nice but hey!! LOL
If any of you can tell me which is the best out of all the recent postings I would be grateful for your opinions..

TIME

Do not waste time
For time is your chance to taste
Taste the joys of everyday life
That the careless seem to waste.

There is more to light than the break of day,
The light within should guide you today,
Listen to those whispers within,
They are there to guide you, yet enlightenment begin.

Don't waste time on anger or jealousy,
What begins with anger...
Ends in shame,
Don't waste your time when there's so much to gain.

Don't waste time with hatred,
For it is like a boomerang,
It usually returns to you,
Harder than it left and with more pain.

See Nature's beauty all around,
Let her gifts remind you,
TYo give thanks for life and breath and family,
It soon becomes second nature to you.

Take the time to send out messages,
Messages of hope and love,
Karma guides all good deeds,
And brings the good back to you like gifts from above.

Live each day like it's your last,
Each day is such a precious gift,
Your happiness starts with you,
Do more in life than just drift......


I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Superb my friend. . .

I would be honored to get this as a gift. . . I really like the last line, "Do more in life than just drift"!  Too many people do that these days, we need to get out there and enjoy life, not just float through it!!!

Excellent. . .

Isis I think I am guilty of wasting time, some days I just want time to go faster. Yet I always believe in making the most of time I don't always follow this belief. A wondeful poem that may yet inspire me to seize the day and make the most of it, even if all I want to do is sit down and watch tv. lol

Brian, TV is good!  A nice part of the day, BUT you must always try to find some time to seize the day and do something special so today isn't merely a carbon copy of yesterday!!  Glad you liked it hon
