Too Much Time. A Poem by Rita Byrne

I have time for thinking now
I have time for reflecting now
I have time for judging now
I have time for regretting now
I have time for loneliness now
I have time for sadness now
I have time for fear now.

I also have time for resting now
I also have time for relaxing now
I also have time for family now
I also have time for play now
I also have time for listening now
I also have time for pets now
I also have time for sitting now.

Maybe I need time
Maybe we all need time
Maybe the world needs time
Maybe families need time
Maybe I have not too much time
Maybe the world has not too much time
Maybe nature needs this time
