Not before, not after, just walk with me.
Says time,
If you have ever felt too overwhelmed,
If you have felt down,
If you have felt a bit off key,
If you have felt life to be unfair
I have just the answer to help you,
And it is very simple, too.
As only time can tell you,
Not before, not after, just walk with me.
All our miseries and misunderstandings
Stem from our lack of time management.
The solution is no secret at all.
The answer is in walking with this very now.
Chase not time of the past;
It’s gone for a reason now.
And stop wondering about and living in the future
For happiness is in this now that you nurture.
Walk in this now in time;
Tune into its current frequency;
Listen to it gratefully;
And live it well and wholeheartedly.
Allow the worries to fade into the past
As you cannot worry for what is gone.
Allow the future to manifest in course
As you cannot hurry time by force.
All is fine as it truly is.
All is well as it’s meant to be
In the realm of times
Between the you and the me.
So as only time can truly tell,
Walk with me.
Not before and not after,
Walk with me in this now.

So true we need to respect Time which is Timeless and does not wait for anyone or anything. It simply flows and we need to also flow timelessly with it. Great poem and so beautifully penned lines, Savvy.

Beautifully written Savvy.
Ask the value of an year from a student who flunked her exam,
Ask the value of nine months from a woman who is expecting,
Ask the value of an hour from a woman who missed her flight,
Ask the value of a day from a woman who could not reach her father’s funeral
Ask the value of a second from an athlete who just lost the gold medal
Ask the value of micro seconds from a dying man
Time is precious, time is paramount. My father always says those who don’t have time bound goals can never overcome this quagmire called world.
Thought provoking and work of a genius, which you are for sure.
