Lillian Nader, For All the Times . . .
For all the times I wished for more time, I have it now.
For all the times I promised to slow down Now's the time to enjoy each moment.
For all the times I said I would call, I joyfully reach out to loved ones.
For all the times I vowed to finish writing my play, The time is now.
For all the books I've wanted to read, It's time to read them now.
For all the times I wanted to write more poems, Now's the perfect time for poetry.
For all the times I wished I had more time, I have it now.
For the precious time wasted with doubts or fears I'll replace with joyful intentions.
For all the times I binged on potato chips, I'll binge on TV shows instead.
For all those times I didn't exercise, It's time to count those steps.
For all the times I hoped someone else would lead, It's time for me to step up and do my part.
For all the times I wished for more time
It's time to use my time with love in my heart. For all the times I dreamed of world peace, Oh,
God, I pray the time for peace is now!
With social distancing in our time,
Let's fight for social justice instead of endless wars. Amen!
