time

clothes to wash, 
kids to teach, 
time to spend, 


words to write, 
calls to make, 
words to say, 
time to spend, 


meals to prepare,
clothes to fold, 
kids to wash,
time to spend,


things to do,
things to do,
things to do,
time spent...


where did it go?
wait...


words to hear,
cries to soothe,
smiles to notice,
time to spend,


words to read,
prayers to pray,
sun to feel on your skin so warm,
grass to feel underfoot,
time to spend,


smile back,
hugs,
kisses,
embraces,
music in the ears so sweet,
time to spend, 


hearts heard,
life enjoyed,
love shared,
time spent.
