Poetry: Borrowed Time

 


We all use borrowed time
Each day we awake
Each step we take
Each sound we hear
Each taste
Each laugh
Each touch
It’s all on borrowed time
We need to remember that each of these is a gift
We need to treasure what we have been given
We need to find the good in our moments traveling through life
For, these are borrowed times we’ve been given
Some of us will have a lot of time to borrow
Some of us will have ours cut short
But we have in common is the gift of the time we have been given
Remember, it’s borrowed time
Make the best of your gift
