Changing Directions

Each year I add, goes faster,

The past looks farther,

The future closer.

Making time 

Not taking time

Borrowing

Lending

Saving time

Realizing 

Life is shortening

Pulling

Pushing

Wondering why

Will what I do

Make a pinhole

Difference

In life?

Does it need to?

I reach out far.

I bring in close.

No way to measure.

Just know.

Sit, walk, talk.

Visit, See, Question.

Same path taken.

Some results, some not.

A butterfly, a moth.

Different yet same.

I'll try to touch. 

More flowers.

Along life's short byways.

Will I make a difference?

Will time reward my "trys"?

Will you stop and listen?

Or turn and walk away.

Not your problem.

Don't have time.

So far in the future.

Why should I care?

Take a deep breath.

The future is now.

How you walk and talk.

Will get us there.

If lucky, you'll live 

To times to consider

Why you did not hear.

Blinders and earplugs

Driven to distress

Time is your enemy

Or your closest friend.

Listen, learn

Most important care.

Bring others to the table

There's a lot to share.

We and You

Can make a difference.

A lifetime shows the way.

All that's needed

Is your Caring,

Sharing. Persevering.

Today. Do it today!

Ask. Look. Listen.

Join hands and hearts.

You Are The World.
