A Thought for Sunday

Hey! It's the first day of the week
Sunday means a longer sleep
So we can chill and meditate
Our week has so much on its plate ...

Sadly, we can't alter time
It slips away, both yours and mine
For everyone it's new, unique
Life's a gift and time a treat!

Living 'here and now' is hard
Niggling thoughts catch us off-guard
We're distracted, go off track;
Those precious moments can't come back.

We plan or mull upon the past
Forgetting life goes by so fast
So often, it now seems to me,
We squander time; we should just be ...
