Don't Take Time For Granted

Time will slip away just like that, in a split second it's gone and you will never have that time back.

People act like time is nothing now days. They take time for granted, just let it slip away. Time is everything. Don't waste your time on things that don't matter. Once someone or something is gone, you wish you could of went back into time and spent more time with that person. Make sure you spend time with people who mean the most to you, because once their gone, they are gone forever. I was just looking through some of the poems I have written in the past and thought this one was a good one to share with everyone. Don't let time slip away.

Time Is Slipping Away

By Jessica Handy

The time is slipping away from us

Just in a split second the memories we have made are like dust,

Blown away and forgotten just like that,

The time we had together is gone forever,

we can’t ever get it back.

Time is such a precious thing

I was your princess and you were my king,

Why you got sick when I was so young,

It’s a mystery that I wish could be undone.

Why my dear, sweet dad

Are you leaving me so soon?

You were my guiding star,

My sun and my moon.

Time is slipping away from us

We only have a little longer,

I can’t be much stronger so help me my dear father.

The time we have had,

Wasn’t nearly enough

To pack in an entire

Lifetime of love.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
