    Destination Home

    He walked along the tree-lined lane,

    his destination, home.

    As he walked, the sights of spring,

    gave greater urge to roam.

    Each happy, fragrant day of spring,

    the little boy would roam.

    Always seeking what life would

    I took time for granted

    because I'd invented

    a clever little machine.

    Painstakingly painted

    a pitiful patchwork

    of purple, pink,

    gold and green.

    Twenty-two buttons,

    thirty-three levers

    plus eleven other knobs,

    switches

    I reflect on memories of the past
    I realize there is no time
    To absently waste our tomorrows
    To look for what we can not find




    Knowing our days pass too quickly
    Clinging to dreams that are new
    Keeping our hopes for tomorrow
    Searching

    Time


    Time is such a funny thing
    It's here and then it's gone
    The things that seemed important then
    were not for very long

    The memories that I recall
    when looking back in time
    seem more like someone else's life
    not something that was

    No time...
    to start over again
    my hair's gray and growing thin.
    My eyes once bright, now dim,
    years too short, time's too slim.

    No time...
    to gather the harvest
    growing in the field
    my bodies worn out and days still.

    No time...
    to enjoy

    Time

    As I sit and survey my life,

    I think of all the cliches about time.

    It waits for no man, it rolls on, it must not be wasted.

    I recall in years gone by, how I laughed at these trite sayings,

    and dismissed them with

    EPIC GLORY

    There is no time

    for the mind

    to whisper in silence

    crouched

    in anticipation

    for flight

    and to do

    what no man

    has done before

    in a moment of history

    epic glory in a heart-beat

    and with no time

    for cyber space

    or the

    Time

    Time is a voracious predator.

    Its stealth is unmatched, for without a sound-

    It will take from us any and all promise of tomorrow.

    Its sharp talons, always poised and curled,

    Easily pluck the unsuspecting of us

    NO TIME TO LOVE NO TIME UNTIMED

    Take your time with all things untimed.
    Never fear that you will be too busy,
    and never fear to be busy too.
    I have no time to be me in no time.
    Love folds itself through time to love you.

    Love has all

    Uphold time spinning circles
    Growing patterns in my head
    Silky stars of innocence
    Falling fast a moonless field

    Consider time wasted waiting
    Careless clocks add up mountain tops
    Another dimension follows
    You're either caught up

    There is no time for time

    Time is constant

    However we run out of it, it seems

    It never stops going

    But we must rest

    When fun is happening it flies

    When bored it lingers

    Yet it does neither one

    Time is constant

    Time to

    the hands of an old clock

    a few more seconds

    tick tick tick
    closer to another sunset
    closer to another sunrise
    tick tick tick
    just a little farther
    from the beginning
    tick tick tick

    I Don't Have Time To Be this Busy ...

    (I'm Too Tired To Feel This Busy)


    I don't have time to be this busy.

    Working so hard makes me tired and dizzy.

    There has to be a way to stop this frantic mess.

    So I don't have to put up

    ONE last time...


    ONE last time...

    ONE last time to cry...

    ONE last time to hold onto

    something real...

    ONE last time to hold you in my

    ONE last time to show I care...

    ONE last time for what we had...

    I drive to work, late again. Do I tell time, or does time tell me?
    There is never enough when I'm busy, and time disappears when I'm free.
    Once time was abundant, when I was but a child.
    An hour outside, was a long time to be happy

    Stale Dated

    As I sit here in front of a computer station built for a king
    I eat my stale store bought chocolate chip muffin
    Reading the occasional slide that's suppose to inform me
    Of all the research methods appropriate

    No time

    No Time

    No time to think

    No time to play

    No time to read a book today

    No time to eat

    No time to drink

    I have to do some other things

    Work so hard and give my all

    To get ahead God sees it all

    Take time for kids and family

    Where has the time gone

    The world has quickened its pace

    Where does the hour hand point

    A clock without a face

    Who has turned the hourglass upside down

    The numbers are becoming hazy

    Pleasant is the distant sound

    When the busy world

    As the days go by I find it harder and harder to move on.

    I find that I'm running out of time!

    I find it harder to realize what my life has become!

    The world is spinning and I'm almost out of time.

    Its seems I'm running myself scared
