About Time
For one thing, time is not linear!
A moment can seem a lifetime and a lifetime can seem a moment.
Time is a curve. Curves are beautiful, natural. Straight lines are man-made.
They have their uses, of course, but give me a curve every time.
Caring People 8.11.74 (Written, by my sister, in green ink)
You don't have to lunch on Sundays At one in the afternoon You don't have to have roast chicken A clean knife and fork and a spoon If you're one of the Caring People You can eat cream cheese on the moon!
You don't have to give chic parties Inviting 'La creme de la creme' Where they stand around smiling and sizing you up While you stand on your head to please them! If you're one of the Caring People You will shine without wearing a gem.
You don't have to have a garden That's better than all the rest With everything laid out neatly A park keeper's dream at best If you're one of the Caring People You can water your weeds with zest!
I hope when my life is over That people will say of me:- "She may have been odd And a bit of a sod But she cared about people you see-"
And what will be most rewarding When my life has come to an end I can look back and say That for even one day A person who cared was my friend.
