It’s a bit belated but Happy Birthday! I’m gutted I missed the competition closing date, but here’s a piece off the cuff anyway:
Time charges forward
Regardless of our wishes
Love is to have more of it
Hate; that it moves so quickly
That a day is always 24 hours
Is unhelpful earthly justice
Oh, that I could create more
Steal, and hoard, and hold
Gifts for those more deserving than I
But, this selfish desire fades
Because we all have a choice
To value the time we have
Or squander it
What will you do?
