 Fall BackFall Back today, Fall Back they say We'll have one extra hour To wile away, howe'er we may For each the option ours If you could choose, with naught to lose An hour to live again Follow your muse, and have no rues Return to where and when A time you'd find you could rewind And have another chance To redesign ways left behind The course of happenstance What would you do, for life anew To quell incumbrous strife? To take your cue from yester's view And change that hour of life? Turn back the clock - past times are locked Fall Back one hour tonight Arise to walk in wisdom's talk Best tend to morrow's rite Then borrow some from time to come Of future's heedful hours Affect the sum of life undone For destiny is ours If from the past we've learned at last Time wisely spent instead As hours pass, life's play's recast Fall Back then Spring Ahead  Waft every crest upon your destined sea |

I'm sure I could come up with an item or two I could change for the better of myself with the extra hour we gain, but I'm going to be lazy and enjoy the extra hour of sleep. *LOL* Catchy verse, Nan...enjoyed! Music, tonal clear & pure, |

Loved this Nan, I could take part of my poem about What If and put the two together and come up with an outstanding answer for what to do with the hour of time.....but....I think at my age, I will just enjoy the nap. |

Aww what bliss it tis to regain the hour sleep I missed last spring. Too bad we can't turn back the clock on time sometimes. |

Ah, but if I had an extra hour another conversation I would start, with the dearest friend I ever had, and she'd gain an hour in her depart. Nan, thank you for this one, and the reminder too. I think I shall write in that extra hour, what the heck!  ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

To sleep, perchance to dream an extra hour?? Since I cannot change the past, my hour is best spent doing something to guarantee a brighter future for my child, and all the other children of the world. |

What ARE you talking about? Here in Arizona, we don't do any of that stuff....(could it be we don't know how?) Nope. We're rebels that's all!!  Loved the poem!! |

Much to ponder oh wise one...there are so many hours I'd give my right arm to go back to...some to change and some to just live all over again. A great write with the perfect dash of "hmmmmmmmmmm" |
