by Michael Shapiro
What is taken for granted?
What goes quicker than we thought?
What can be wasted the most?
What is something that is sought?
When younger can seem quite slow
When older moves way too fast
Never have enough of it
For time isn't made to last
Perhaps taking a time out
Noticing the stars and moon
All the beauty in nature
Lovely scents of spring's first bloom
Spend more time with family
Tell your spouse how much you care
Be present with your children
Enjoy all the love you share
Why put off 'til tomorrow?
As there are no guarantees
Live each day to the fullest
Much joy in each day to seize
Michael Shapiro has been writing for two and a half years following the passing of his wife on December 14, 2020. He writes mainly poetry and has been part of the Philadelphia Writers Workshop for the past two-plus years. He has also self-published a book of poems (One Pen Two Hands One Heart One Soul) on Amazon. His biggest joy is writing as he feels his wife writes with him and they become one through the words.
