So Much Time– A poem written on 5/26/2018
I spent, oh so much time
Being angry and holding grudges
Against those I now love
Or the people I now rise above
I spent, oh so many years
Stumbling in misery and regret
I cried, oh, so many tears
Because I hadn’t conquered my fears
I spent, oh so much time
On things that have profited me none
But now I’m totally done
Done with throwing away precious years
I will spend these fewer days
On who will matter most to me
I will love them fervently
And let everything else on earth ,be

Awww this is inspiring. My friend’s father died this morning. It made me realize how precious time is. Now, I’m planning to spend the following days expressing my love for my parents.
