Wasted Moments

 

Wasted Moments

© by Bud Lemire on March 6, 2022

Looking back on your life, we've all wasted time

Did things unimportant, which crossed our mind

In those wasted moments, if we could go back and change

Would you do it, even though it sounds strange

In our lifetime, time passes so very fast

The moments we have, never seem to last

If we could change, those wasted moments we had

Give them more meaning, so it wouldn't be so bad

I'm talking about the time, you sat on a porch drinking beer

While your Mom sat alone, ready to leave her life here

We have all been guilty of doing this

Then we curse, because it's them that we miss

Wasted moments, they come to us each

We've all had them, what is it they teach

Should have done this, but you didn't do

Too busy with something, and it passed through

Wasted moments, is not to be confused with “Time For You”

We all need time for ourselves, to do what we do

Wasted time is doing something, when other things are a priority

When the chance is missed, and will never again be

I am not talking about the moments you take to have fun,

like watch TV, play games, enjoy nature, etc. I am

talking about the time when you should be doing

something that may never come again. If you

don't visit Mom, she will pass, and you will feel

guilty about not going to see her. Think about

the things going on in your life, and do the

things that won't make you regret not

doing them.
