At times
I wish

I had
more hours
in the day
to stand still
and watch
kids at play

to slowly
see the day
fade away into the
stillness of the night
the beauty of dreams
drawing closer
to midnight

I wish
I had more time
to do the things
I want to do for you

A foot rub and a hug or two

I wish
I had more time to take you
up a mountain top
up and far above
assuring you of my true love

I wish I had more time
to BE

To experience
the quietness
within my being
enjoying
as far as the eye can see
all the beauty
surrounding me

I wish
I had more time
to spend
With my Higher Power
He ever so quietly
whispering
His soft voice
lingering
within me

I wish
I had more time
To achieve all the
dreams inside of me

Or to say the things
I want to say to thee

I will have to make due
With what is given to me

TODAY

Today I will tell you
that I love you
on my way to work
I will notice the dove
in search of breadcrumbs
on the sidewalk

I will see me
ever searching for
the “holy grail” of life
if my ever lasting search leads
me to it
the cracks on the outer side will
fade away
I will take
a look closer to find all the
beauty hiding inside

All
I have
to give
back
on what
I have received

Is my love
to you
