Don’t Wait

Don’t wait to take your one chance my friend
For time grows short and it soon will end
And all those things that you said you’d try
You will not have done before you die
When you look back as I know you will
To recall those moments when time stood still
Remember only the chance you took
Come make your life an adventure’s book

Don’t you wait before its much too late
Now is the time to meet your own fate
Seize your chance to do all that you would
Don’t spend your life wishing that you could
If you have no purpose to your life
Is it a surprise you live in such strife?
Take a chance to do all that you will
Don’t swallow life as a bitter pill

Don’t wait to make this life work for you
If you hesitate you’ll not get through
Life is such fun live it to the full
Feel the attraction cede to the pull
Why wait until there’s a better time
There’ll never be and now is just fine
Don’t wait until your time is all gone
For time is forever moving on

Marsha

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

True enough Mushy!
Time waits for no man and very few women.
Seriously this is good advice because it can slip by too fast and you never can go back!

Marsha,
I can only repeat the end of tomorrows poem
We're the beginning and the end
May God have mercy on each vend.
Your poem is super. Good night.

Mushy, darling girl....superbly done,
with a very positive and obvious message...

Get off the dime and let it rip....

Utterly fantabulous...  I think we all need
this thought from time to time...

BRAVO!!! Oh Marsha, your words here have touched my heart so deeply, we're two weeks away from graduation now and just the other day we had this senior lunch celebration at our school and we had a guest speaker who once everyone teased and thought was inferior but then he established a dream and he workd to it and it came true ad he proved what he could do and encouraged us that we must all have a drea and if each day we contribute to it sowe approach the dream one step closer each day, it will come true! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, over the summer I am going to learn to play guitar so I can try to be a great songwriter, YAY, we all love you so much! You have such a beautful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
