Just 3 tablets remain
Time to call
For another refill

~Guess I've lived another 30 days~

Time does fly
When measured
by the milligrams
it takes to
keep one
from
ill

Dear Jeep, may you be able to chill the pill in 2006.

May the coming new year bring vitality, hope, prosperity, peace of mind, and joy to you and your loved ones.

God bless you!

Jeep Monkey...Perhaps some good poetry and friends here at PIP will do the trick for you.Enjoyed very much.

I never really thought about some people that depend on their medicine to stay alive, but your poem really was an eye opener for me.Enjoyed...Paul

You guys!!!

It's a blood pressure medicine.  Prescription.  High BP runs in the family, and I've dealt with taking meds for a very long time.

Realizing today how quickly a month goes by - seems I get the darned thing filled all the time!

Yep.  And when
all these pills
are out of sync,
you're at the store
like a blink!
Time seems to stand,
standing in line...

OH for the RX
for all at one time!!!

Tell you what...there's a heck of a lot of truth in these words. We all have constants that mark time for us and, were it not for them, we'd be lost....pills, something that happens each month, things that amaze us when they appear and remind us that so much time has passed. I like the thought behind this writing

On my job, I dispense many meds, and if it were not for them, some would have no more time.
A timely but timeless write!

I know that feeling about refilling but mine is for mirgraines.
Enjoyed the read.

Thank you so much for your kind comments.  It's really a "nothing" thought - just one of those things that we deal with in life.  A little intricacy.  I'm happy you enjoyed.

Happy New Year!

What is a year, anyway?  12 prescriptions!  Or...360 tablets...or 3600milligrams...
