Will The Time Stop For A While?

Like sand slipping through the fingers,

time trickles while you wish that it lingers;

 

All appeals lost amidst the din of

seconds, minutes and hours,

Soon disappearing into years as a pleading eye

that precious moment scours;

 

I have seeds of hope to sow,

and dreams to grow;

 

Admire the dewdrops on the face of a petal,

and rage towards the sun before the

dust begins to settle;

 

I’d like to see eyes not steal furtive glances

but sparkle and smile,

Would like to lay stones of good deeds

at every mile;

 

Time, stop for a while as I take

the myriad hues of the rainbow in,

And chase the waves back into the sea

before you begin to spin;

 

Time! will you be on my side as I

dust my favorite dancing shoes,

Hold happiness in the cup of my hand

and bury the blues;

 

Move with me time as I scale

my mountain of ambition,

Give me a hand as, for the values of life,

I polish my passion;

 

Let me pave the way towards

the road less travelled,

And unravel the desires

in the bosom of my heart so secretly held;

 

Time, while I live my life,

allow me to make a difference,

Lending a meaning so special

to an otherwise ordinary existence!!!!!
