The World's Precious Gift
So I separate myself from the present.
Losing my grip on reality,
I lose more of you than I expected.
The seasons continue to change
But you move forward without looking back.
You often leave me behind,
To capture your significance after the affect.
I often travel aimlessly chasing suspense,
But I forget that you won't always know of my intent.
I have a deep admiration for you
But for me you possess only a slight affection.
I often ask myself, "What can I do to get your attention?"
This question is left unanswered so I continue to pursue more of you
And to my dismay I am only rejected.
I am fascinated by every hour, second and minute I spend with you
I take you for granted so now I must appreciate you
The world's most precious gift is
"Time"
I'll never have more of it
So I shouldn't let it just slip away from me.

"You often leave me behind, To capture your significance after the affect. " Oh how I can relate! I agree with D.A. Ashton that this is a very clever piece. Well done Lady!
Another phenominal piece, expressed with excellence.......thanks
Now that I'm in my fifth decade of life, I appreciate the time we have . . . ejoying every minute of it . . . making sure to take the time to love and appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us.
Very clever writing. I was told this weekend that time management is waste; as we can never control or regulate "time;" however, we can create priorities within our lives; so we optimize what little time we have. Good piece.
