Time
I wish It was possible to keep hold of Time
To pause it
To place a moment in a jar, lid on and screw it up as tight as possible
I wish life would just give me a chance to live
To hold back the river and calm down
I don’t want to be dragged along in the current
Whizzing down stream, life passing by
As peaceful as it may sound, resting in the water and allowing the current to carry me
Means I’m missing out on what is passing by
I don’t want to swim up stream either
I don’t have the energy to fight the currents
Yes, it means I am alive
That I am strong
But, just for now I would like the river to raise either side and allow me to be me
Just hold back the river
Allow me to rest
To keep my boys by my side
Without the struggle of life
Time is too short to just go with the flow
Time is too short to live a hectic lifestyle
I wish It would slow down
Let us really take in what is happening around us
I don’t want to go with the flow anymore
I want it to slow down and part
The same water cannot be touched again, just like life
Once a time has passed it will never happen again
Holding back the river for just one moment
Allow me to hold the precious ones around me
To take in
To breathe
To rest
And then, after that moment I will be ready for the next journey
The adventure of life
