BORROWED TIME

All the time we have on earth
Why do we take for granted?
The little things matter most
When honesty has raised its voice,
The truth of, �If only I had more time�,
More time to love,
More time to live,
More time to waste instead of cherishing life�
What has passed me by, I�m not even sure,
Because I�ve been floating with no direction to my purpose in life�
What matters to my heart was put on hold with the hope that
I had more time to get to it�
How I was wrong,
How I wish I took my borrowed time with the urgency it deserved,
Then my tears would be those of joy rather than pain,
The pain of loss,
Yes, I lost it,
I lost the time�
Oh God I wish I did things differently,
I wish I lived my life with, �Thank God I did it�,
Rather than �If only I had more time�.
