Time unspent

Be safe. Don’t try. Stay still. Stand by.
The earth will not implore us.
Too late to buy one last goodbye
While life stood there before us.

How very true. We take so many things for granted
in life until the time comes when we realize that
our time on earth is running out. "Shoulda, Coulda,
Woulda..." That realization comes too little too late.
By playing it safe we miss once in a lifetime
opportunities which turn into regrets that we take to
our graves. Life isnt granted to us to direct us and
hold our hands. Our direction comes from God...He
constantly is speaking to our hearts but it up to us
to stop long enough, shut up long enough and
just listen.
I have plenty of mistakes that I have made so
far in my life that I hope and pray that I can
rectify before they become regrets.
Brilliant my friend. Thank You

Rich

That is the question.
I once got into big trouble suggesting the officer who was killed in the war took the wrong job when he went to war and left behind seven young children and a wife. Of course I stood my ground. A very unwise choice in my mind. Too many other humans left without a father. To each his own. Life is a terrible thing to waste no matter if you live it hard or play it safe. Got me thinking here Jaye!

I`ve always felt that doing nothing, though easier, is still a decision. And it can have more far reaching consequences than choosing to do something.

wow. Short and to the point but what a message!! I love the
reverse psychology in this. That is the thing about time, eh?
Once it is spent or UNspent, it is gone.
You do not get to use it again.

nice write. I love this one!
