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.
