They tumble off the quota pile we're given every day; too often we don't even miss the ones that get away. It seems as though we scorn the worth of such a valued trust; we simply let them slide, and watch another bite the dust. Without a sound, they scurry off to time's recycle bin; we shrug and never notice that our quota's getting thin. |

Oh I like this Laryalee.. I never really thought about it that much, I guess it IS like having a set quota of moments to spend.. heh, I've let a few slip.. I'm sure most of us have SOME time or another.. this is a thought provoking poem lary, and I enjoyed it immensly.. thank you for sharing.. - Love, Lynne "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened."

Wonderful! Make every moment count, and count each as a gift! Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

This is good. I'm glad you named it though, I read it through first and thought you were talking about our poems. Joyce |

Interesting..interesting! Much a sense of 'Carpe Diem' in this one! 'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may...'! Enjoyed this very much. Thank you for awaking that little part of me that falls asleep in the boredome of my daily routine quite often nowadays!  ~~Jamie   "There are no unlockable doors |

Very well put. Time does slip by so fast sometimes. Would that we could catch all of those moments and savor each and every one of them. Keith every day is a new day with which we can change the world |

yep my quota is getting too thin thanks for the reminder to not let those moments slip. Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Thanks for all your kind responses... Lynne, I'm like you - lose a few, waste a few...suddenly a week is gone! Ellie - very wise words, my dear! Joyce - I think that's hilarious! (I've lost of few of those, too!) Jamie - Oh, I hope you can write your poetry if you get too bored! Thanks, Keith - yep, it's easy to say, but not so easy to do! Songbird, Betty Lou & Denise - your comments warm my heart! Hiya Pegasus! So delighted you dropped by! Moon Dust - I guess all our quotas are getting thin...but sometimes we become more aware of it.... Appreciate all your thoughts! Lary |
