Daily Prompt: Prudent

Advertisements

We all seem to want to plan our future and

that means we were all prudent at sometime in our life.

But, we all know now that the future can be planned for all you want

but the outcome sometimes we have no control over.

And so things happen and we are pushed into a new direction.

It would be wise of us to make the smart decision to either follow the new path we are on or we can fight our way back to something that may have just been a pipe dream.

Sometimes the easy choices is right in front of our face and we seem to always pick the harder path only to end up scratching our heads at the end of the day.

Timer

The timer is slowly ticking away as I move through life with little to no regret.

For so many things I’m responsible for that the simple things have to be put on hold.

My body is always on alert mode and there is no time to truly just sit down and relax for there is always a timer ready to go off.

Telling me time is up and I have to keep moving and do more and more until I’m too tired to move or think.

I can’t relax not even for a moment for something might go wrong or get behind.

And I have to stay ahead of the mess not behind it.

I don’t know if I will run out of time but all I can do is do my best and move forward, hoping the timer won’t run out before I reach my goals in this life.

Daily Prompt: Pause

Advertisements

Sometimes I wish I could take a moment and just pause

and look around the life I live.

But, life seems to be going by so fast sometimes that taking the time

to slow down seems impossible.

My mind is never quite and always on the move.

I want to pause and see the way things may be going for right now I don’t know

what path to take.

But, I’m just moving along but not for me but for something bigger for my pause will come and I will have the chance to do better.

However, for now my pause will have to wait as my life is on fast forwarding and I don’t seem to have time for much more right now.

Daily Prompt: Later

No time now

but maybe later.

But, Sometimes later never comes

and tomorrow rolls around and it is still

undone.

And other times you run out of time and are not around for later to come.

So maybe later will be now if only I had the energy.
