A Choice (day 90)
saving time, spending time,
watching time, wasting time...
Just the word time is tiring.
Making efforts, planning steps,
Measuring progress, keeping up
With this life is exhausting.
We can't rest, we can't have breaks,
We can't stop, not until
There's nothing more to build.
And when we finally figure out
The truth about what matters
We'd have no time, we'd have no strength,
We'd have no will to start again.
All we can do is teach our sons
What we learned the hard way
Hoping they would have a chance,
Hoping they'd still have a choice.

This is my Day 90 of the 100 Days of Poetry Challenge. You can visit Steemit School on discord if you want to learn more about it or if you want to join our poetry lesson.
Time is the truth that everybody ignores and do not give importance to. What you have written here is a timely reminder for all. It is better late than never. I am not a critic of poetry.
I like the way you have included the lesson for the next generation. resteeming this and sharing on twitter
:)
Thank you
I didn't think it was that good
Oh my. I can relate to every word you said. Life lessons can be hard to grasp , and when we do, it could be a little too late. I like the glimmer of hope you set at the end: we teach the next generation what ours failed at ;)
