The man sits swiftly on the hill
And gazes at the sky.
He ponders what life would have been like
If time hadn’t gone so fast by.

© Michelle W., Ada, MI

The author's comments:
The poetry piece contains a lesson for everyone in this life. We sit and wonder why time is going by so fast and how we wish we could go back into the past. Instead, we need to cherish every moment we have and do something meaningful and productive. Wondering about your past mistakes will not stop time - instead, you are wasting it.
As Karen Lamb said "A Year from Now You May Wish You Had Started Today."
