LACK OF TIME

Marsha Bedward 1983 (Ontario)

Lack of time in ignorance
He couldn't find patience
Sturring up emotions
Only made things worse
No matter how hard he tried
It made him tick at every second
What can I do to make him
feel better
To find inner peace?

About this poem

I had originally written this poem back in summer 2003 about a man that was always ignorant and impatient. When you take a good look at this man you can see the struggle between life and faith. And this is what brought Lack of Time to life.
