The things I want to do..


"There isn't time, there isn't time
To do the things I want to do,
With all the mountain-tops to climb,
And all the woods to wander through,
And all the seas to sail upon,
And everywhere there is to go,
And all the people, every one
Who lives upon the earth, to know.
There's only time, there's only time
To know a few, and do a few,
And then sit down and make a rhyme
About the rest I want to do"

Oh my dearest, that is so beautiful! Yes, yes! There is only so much time, let us all make the best of it through the simple yet profound things. You have taught me MUCH, YES, YOU! I will forever be grateful for your example to me. Fondly, Anita

Love the sentiments in the poem - so many things I could do but I now know that I can't do them all - so I must concentrate on those things I really want to do and treasure the people I already know:)
