Rant over.

Rant over.

Is there time enough

To watch the grass grow

Build a nest

Listen to a lullaby

Swim in a mountain stream

Sleep beneath the stars

Watch as they fall

Make a wish

Hope it comes true

Before the clock stops

Climb a mountain

Open a doorway

To another’s heart

Build bridges

Before they burn

Dust off a new broom

Sweep away the dust

Before the joints

Are sealed

In rust

Make amends

For the most part

As thoughtlessness

Is no excuse

For intolerance

Carry the day

With good grace

See a smile

On a newborn's face

Watch as they grow older

Take comfort

In their progress

Is there time enough

To care

What we leave behind

What is left undone

When time

Has been and gone
