Sorry Jim Croce

No bottle will hold enough

We want forever

    Congratulations on your Top Story, Judey! Your writing is inspirational! I also enjoyed the song, "Time in A Bottle". The 70's music had a special way of capturing life's deepest truths. Thanks for sharing this.

  • Loved listening to Time in a Bottle. It's been so long. You are right in this short little poem there is not a bottle big enough. 🥰 - Great poem. Great song!
