Ordinary Moments

Longing for a quiet time to return

When simple pleasures reigned supreme

A hectic pace, now somehow burns

My candle at both ends, but how I dream

Of special days that brought pleasure

Having time to stroll to favorite places

Hours that were free, I failed to measure

With time elapsed, missing familiar faces

I often envy nature, and how things are ordered

Everything has a purpose and a time to shine

So often we find our lives are disordered

Needing to prioritize,before we fall behind
