Time in a Bottle by Jeanette Cooper Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan .
Time In A Bottle I wish I could put time in a bottle Slow down the days speeding by Save some like sick-leave days To extend my days before I die. I wish I could put a time-clock on that bottle Stop it from running when I’m asleep. Turn it on when I’m doing what I enjoy Turn it off when boredom runs deep. If I could put time in a bottle, I’d save the unused minutes until the day When death steals close to my ebbing life When health has too quickly slipped away. But since time waits for no man I must take each day as it is meant Use each minute to the fullest that I can And thank God for the time he has lent. © 2008 Jeanette Cooper

Time In a Bottle - something I think we all wish we had.




Reviewed by Dawn Anderson	10/1/2008

Jeanette, this is so beautiful. It starts out a bit sad and then comes full circle in that it wisely tells us to live life as the gift it is.
