Odense by G. Riley

Odense #2

Don’t waste it

not one second

not one blessed drop of time.

Wishing away days others’ would cry for.

Hold your child

and if childless,

create beauty.

Breathe deeply because you can

and hold in your heart (without morbidity)

those who no longer can… and REJOICE.

Your chapter is not yet closed.

Time is given in this moment

for gratitude

for healing

for reparation

for movement forward.

Lucky us

SMILE, and if that is not possible, cry

but for God’s sake don’t just sit there.

waiting for a tomorrow that may not come

A love who may never hold you

A dream you might never make it to bed to have.

What you have is NOW

is GIFT

is GOOD

is REAL
