Meaningful Poems
Short Steps Of Time
We are born into a world where time is our substance in
life.
How we utilize and maximize our time given is the reward
we will strive.
From our first days on earth when we are insecure with our
surroundings.
To our final days on earth when we are insecure on where
we are going.
Our time is based on steps that we take and in the time
that we use,
We can gain many joyous things just by merely using time
without much abuse.
When we waste our time with self pity, anger and sorrow,
We have deprived ourselves of many great hidden joys and
along with that have shortened our tomorrow.
When we are young our time is in the control of loved ones
around us,
As we toddle off to explore our surroundings and wonder,
Why all the fuss?
Time takes us into our adventurous years when every sentence
ends with "why?",
Oh, how we all look for the innocence of days gone by.
We then become a knowledgeable pre-teen when we think we
know it all,
And we find we aren't invincible - and we do take a fall.
Our next steps we become the robust teenagers of youth,
We stumble, we falter, we become that of confused.
Young adulthood next uses our time and our dreams,
As we venture forward with a nervousness that screams.
Out in a world so very alone we find our life's partner
to share and to hold,
We now look back to our parents to glean a knowledge on
how to be bold.
We now look at the steps of the children of ours,
And think of our past enjoyments while they waste away hours.
The steps in the cycle of time start with each birth of
a child,
As the shortness of time is passed to another so tender
and mild.
We must use our time wisely and with great care,
For when we waste a second, a minute, or an hour - our life
we impair.
For time lost today can never be replaced no matter how
we try,
Any time used unwisely will give us many a reason to cry.
So caress your time given for your enjoyments and worships
in life,
Cause time can't be replaced or renewed when it is lost
in our daily strife.
Times of past can be remembered and shared with many we
touch,
Just handle it with care and give it to those to whom you
love so much.
