Spending Time
How Will You Be Remembered?
What does it cost
To spend some time
Is it a penny or nickel
A dollar or a dime?
We are only here
For an allotment of time
It can happen when young
Or strike us in our prime!
So when we are gone
As we all have to go
How we'll be remembered
Is something we should know!
Will you be the workaholic
Who worked from dusk till dawn
Then spent the whole weekend
Manicuring the lawn!
Will you be the mother
Who kept a meticulous home
Spending every moment cleaning
To feed your obsessive syndrome!
Or will you be remembered
For spending your spare time
Playing, laughing and having fun
As a worshipped paradigm?
