Addictedtoclassic Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 This is something for all to ponder... I sit and collect my thoughts for another day Thinking about how much life has changed Time moves too fast and days go by too quickly I wish I could get off this ride and just slow down for one week But time is often just an interpretation A minute is always a minute A day is always a day A months is always a month But our mind perceives them in different ways In the blink of an eye another day has gone by and we start all over again the next morning Too bad we can?t start the previous day over and do it all over again But you can?t change the past and you have to adjust for the future No one else is going to stop their life just because yours has gotten away from you But what about those that do make time to help others What about those who disregard a time within their lives to help yours out Time hasn?t stopped for them but part of them has stopped in time I believe the term is friend Sometimes a friend can change your fresh start for the next day Whether it be a bit of good advice or a little helping hand But the best friends are those that dedicate their ears to you when you need it the most A time when you feel so distraught and just need someone to share your thoughts with Of course listening is only part of friendship When a response is necessary, that same friend will give it So instead of trying to change the past, try changing the future If you can?t do it alone, then look toward your friend for some free advice And always remember, that same friend may come to you for the same reasons So lend an ear and see if you can help their future Life will continue to change but that doesn?t mean it has to be bad Because a true friend will offer good advice to make those changes better In the words of Linkin Park ?Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down ?til the end of the day The clock ticks life away? Basically, you can die sad and alone or happy and with friends Friendship is the treasure with infinite value Friendship can help mend the wounds time has created I can?t change the past, I can?t slow down time, so I?ll just lean on a friends? shoulder and hope for a happy ending Without friends, life is meaningless And time won?t stop so that you can make your life meaningful Because if you don?t take the time to do it yourself, time will be lost And you can never get that back See the problem is, you just blinked too many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyF Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Wow... this is SO relevant to what I am going through. I hope you don't mind, I sent this to a very good friend of mine who has always been there for me (since high school). She is non-judgemental (unlike some other people I know). We talk practically every day and she knows more about me than anyone, even family. She is always there for me and for that I am thankful. I try to be there for her too. Thanks for the poem. I really LIKE it. p.s. One of my favorite quotes is by Albert Einstein: "Time will wait for whomever will make use of it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Well, it's not a poem, but feel free to send it to anyone you'd like. It's really more of a thought to ponder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Why thank you. I have some times where my mind has these very profound thoughts that just need to come out. I have more that I can post later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
