time

time

keeps marching on-

minutes turn into hours

hours turn into days

and before you know it

days turn into months

and months into years!

it just keeps on going 

never mind that 

you might

not be willing to

let it.

it doesn't ask for permission

it just keeps on 

'keeping on'.

sometimes life

seems like a blur-

so many things on the 

agenda.

i want to just 

pull the blankets up

tight around my chin

and ignore it all!

but, this is really

not in my 

nature.

i am a fighter-

and so,

i  do not give up.

i look at a calendar

filled with 'busy' things

and instead of letting it

overwhelm me

i choose to be

thankful-

thankful

that i have busy things to

help me 

not miss the family,

who moved so very 

far away!

our youngest daughter
graduated from college this past spring
and life just keeps going on!

i am and 

always will be

 a glass half-full

kind of girl!

yes

keeping busy

is the key,

now if only

i could go and 

take a nap! :)
