I really think my favorite thing Is having time to spare To find that I have peace of mind And time with self to share I think it might be thoughts of free The dream of endless love To watch a face that shares a smile To think at times of God above It might just be to think of things Without the rush of living To find a day to pass away With hours so forgiving It’s the looking round and finding That life has been quite kind To relies that you live so free And dreams are there to find To sit back and to contemplate Then find some words to share To write a poem that some may like To find there’s love out there To wake when day does show her grace And not leave home when dark To go to bed and feel content And somehow leave my mark My favorite thing, it seems to be To find that I have space To do some things I like to do Before I’ve run my race |

I would love my favorite pastime to be able to simply share MORE time! ... then I wonder when my last pitstop was and if I might be low on water! I enjoyed both the calm and the pace of this, thanks! Ct |

I wish I had more space and more time as well, and more ability to enjoy myself... Makes me tired. Enjoyed your poem. |

My favorite thing, it seems to be To find that I have space To do some things I like to do Before I’ve run my race Hi Rick, great poem old cobber, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just hope that one of the things you like to do is cutting my hedge, anyway that will do for a start. Have a great day and may the sun shine upon you every day, between showers, that is. Lindsay |
