Don't wait for time
to fold the napkin,
to pour happiness,
or cook good health.

At the table
where you gather nourishment,
be the clock.

I like to think that I don't wait for time,
it waits for me.....lol......This makes one think Martie, you are so good at that.  Thanks bunches, happy Saturday to you!

Before us stands the flow of sand
within the glass of weathered hand
as grains do fall above to low
a clock in tick we let not go.

Be the clock of your life...not the life
of your clock...

Well done Martie!

(smiles) Wow, I love the value behind your words, sweet friend, yes, may we all be the clock and sit back and enjoy the appetizers and have fun with life's festivities as we await the entrees! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
