The Time you Thought you’d Have Someday.

Don’t blink

By Courtney JohnsonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Don’t blink.

It’ll pass you by.

Slow are the days.

Till in the blink of an eye,

Rest is no longer out of reach.

All at once, there’s no one left to teach.

Crying because it’s slipped away.

The time you thought you’d have someday.

If it’s not too late for you,

Open your eyes or you’ll be here, too.

Never think you can look away. Hold onto the moments you have, today.

I’m a mom of two beautiful boys. I’ve been writing since I was a child. I figured I may as well write something that someone has the chance to read.
