tomorrow's promises are fragile yesterday's broken and dismal like droplets of rain merging together to form a stream merging with other promises disappearing into the gutter lost in an endless pool of shattered pledges of eternal something-or-other yesterday's shattered words spoken in the intensity of the moment means less than it takes time to utter it a moment wasted can never rescue that moment to relive it so . . . squander not your time either listening to or speaking broken words waste time at your peril for what you are losing is the stuff of which life is made of ©November 6, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

And woe to the man who believes his own misspoken promises. Some very harsh truths in this one. Well done. Michael |

I seem to remember a quote that went something like. "I have wasted time and now time doth waste me." Enjoyed your wisdom. Ida |
