I Want Time to Walk

I Want Time to Walk

© 2018 by P Michael Biggs

I want time to walk.

Life is a fleeting experience

and I don’t want to miss any of it.

I want time to walk.

I’ll stride slowly by the roses.

I’ll sit on Sunset and watch the gulls.

I’ll breathe deeply of the ocean

and hear the waves rushing to shore.

I’ll savor time with grandkids.

I’ll taste every bite of what I love.

I’ll note the subtleties of

Diana Krall, Nat ‘King” Cole

and Beethoven’s Fifth.

I’ll walk slowly through

a book store and marvel

at how mankind can create

such works of variety and intensity.

I’ll wave at small children,

and get a smile and a giggle.

I’ll listen to the aged

for they can teach us much.

I want time to walk.

And when the walking is hard,

I’ll sit and watch.

I’ll listen to others

and smile and nod

I’ll enjoy being here

for a few more days

I love this life

and my place in this world.

I’ll remember where I walked,

and the talks I talked,

and the hand I held,

and the love I shared.

For I had a good walk,

a slow walk,

a soul-satisfying walk

on this good earth.

And I thank God.
