Hurry


Ecclesiastes 7:8 

8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
likewise, patience is better than pride.

 

Hurry

 

In a hurry always moving ... cares of the day drive me on.

May be I should stop re-roofing ... the ceiling of intentions never done.

 

Priorities are always changing ... and attention goes to the one perceived

to have more need in immediate craving ... not always to be believed.

 

Side-tracked becomes a way of life ... building a foundation for excuses

seldom satisfied with eight to five ... all it wants is some amusement.

 

Blown around by winds of time ... events now completely control you.

To love life now feels like a crime ... and hanging on takes all to cool you.
