Quality Time

Strong bond transports,
beyond long past,
stay current to savor at last.
Old day dreams come,
then fly by fast,
while hearts and minds dance in contrast.
Enjoy today,
right now is here,
allow regrets to disappear.
Burn yesterday,
release held fears,
this present moment feels so clear.
A solid vow,
sewn to mend time,
bright new laughter rings till it chimes.
Savor this life,
as days pass by,
enjoy each second till eyes shine.
Inner thoughts stop,
peacefully mute,
both brain and soul ease their commute.
Laughter restarts,
without dispute,
tomorrow twinkles in salute.

  1. Wow!! An insightful and unique take on the prompt Grace. The strength that comes from letting the past fall away and enjoying “the right now,” is a powerful image and sentiment. Well done!!

  2. I love this from the very first line, “strong bond transports”, giving a great description of the image. I like the format, too. It makes me feel like I’m flowing in and out of memory, from past to present.🚗

  3. What an insightful poem written in a rhythmic way, Grace! Love it, especially these lines –
    Enjoy today,
    right now is here,
    allow regrets to disappear.
