A chapter in the book An April shower of Poems

Waste not your time

by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Waste not your time
On being unkind
with immaturity
in the forefront
of each decision

Waste not your time
on trying to be right
but rather
dwell more on
what is right

Waste not your time
life is too short
when compared to
eternity
which knows no end

Time, sweet time

In Eternity
you can't waste it
you can't save it
and, you can't spend it
Time is not of the essence
Eternity is forever

I took this shot from the car window as we were driving through New Mexico. Those stalwart mountains remind me of eternity. Only three more poems to go. Thanks again for following this journey through National Poetry Month. :-) Carolyn
