Time Enough For Love

 

do we have
enough time
to love?

in the morning

not much time
together
we are busy

breakfast

eating quickly
thinking
about other things

holding
newspaper that hides
the person we love

in the evening

coming home
stressed
tired

dinner

eating quickly
thinking
about other things

holding
fatigue that hides
the person we love

in our busy lives
do we insure
a little time to love

why do we
prioritize
work over people?

our happiness
our lives
are within

we can
begin a revolution
in our way of living

we
can
choose

to make love
top
priority
