50,000 Hours


 

50,000 hours to use

On my phone?

Don’t I get to choose?

To get something else done?

 

 

Make a new story to tell,

Instead of getting stuff

Something to cheer and inspire

When life gets rough

 

 

Turn off the device

Read a new book

Learn to make rice

Or to bait a hook

 

 

Spend time with loved ones

Friends and family

Then when you are done

You will be pleased to see

 

 

Your life is rich now

Little regrets

Lots to tell and show

To loved ones and pets.
