Time, In a Fast Paced World

Artist Unknown
She rushes in the morning
A cup of coffee at the ready
To be at a job
That allows her to pay the bills
Once there
She jumps through hoops
puts out fires
and does her best to make it look graceful
Second cup of coffee
to maintain her superhero powers
Tackling off another task
And to confirm how efficient she is
Five o’Clock arrives
and the familiar question
arises again
do I stay longer or go home
Check, another task done
rushing again, to navigate the drive
safely she hopes
To greet smiling faces at home
Briefly, in a quiet moment
she reflects
daring to stand still
where has her time gone?
She lets her mind wander
Off to a garden filled with life
Joy and laughter………….and prays
Oh let my time, be more of this
