 Time
More valuable than you think
the greatest treasure
to be with friends
or those you love
these memories are priceless
when far away
or they have passed on
enjoy every moment
it is a song
playing in your heart
the top of your own music chart

One Afternoon

Waiting for my number
to pop up
people doing different stuff
to kill time
reading texting flirting playing
staring off into space
even praying
for it to speed up
got to have patience here
no beer
only pop coffee tea in the shop
smile
your number is next
what will happen now
is anyone's guess
