reflective thinking
years pass quickly and are gone
if only I had time
years pass quickly and are gone
if only I had time
six decades between
making time, taking the time
building memories

The image and text together are poignant. What a lucky little girl. What a lucky man. Making and taking time are beautiful concepts.
A great reminder of the most important way in which we can make time -- share ourselves.
.. am I suppose to feel this old at sixty?
"building memories" --- yes, like a good repeat, some of these memories can be wonderful.

Well I don't but the added factor of retirement makes for new schedules and agendas, and priorities.
The poems stand alone, but this is indeed a perfect photo to accompany and enhance them!
A very important perspective of time is doubling each moment's value by sharing! Especially loved the power of the last line of "building memories". A delightful pairing of haikus!
beautiful. i like your take on the prompt and photo is just great
"six decades between/making time, taking the time". Such weight in those lines. They made me catch my breath, stop and think.
I agree with Deborah -- the poem is beautiful and evocative on its own, but paired with the photo, extra layers of meaning (and a tiny sliver of humor) add so much richness.
..the roof of memory upon us_every breath a brick-each blink a brush stroke of color-with flesh,blood & bones_
"making time, taking the time"..
building -(each moment of existence)
into memories-the ethereal houses that we live in-
thank u for a picture and poem(s) that search for meanings scattered in "a hodgepodge of things"..
Very evocative! I like the "making time, taking time" part. I think "If only I had time" are such sad words usually, speaking of things we will never do or get done. We waste so much time and then long for more.
Just a perfect combination of words and photo.
The truth in this is palpable and mind-opening...Beautiful and stirring photo.
This universal experience is very artistically expressed here.Taking the time in our culture of busyness is a practice I truly believe in. Thank you for this lovely piece.
I think with the passing of time we are more aware of it`s value.
What a treasure this photo is for the little one.
the image & words are a perfect fit
beautiful.. building memories every blink of the eye... you caught it well in the reflection of water...
So glad to of found your site through OSI...wonderful on reflective thinking-
