Loved Ones (Sapphic Verse)

in

Stress and strife, what toll does it take on loved ones?

A marriage of absence does nothing but harm,

Your own progeny know you not in their lives

For selfish advance.

.

Busyness has supplanted all else in life

Causing scars and pain invisible to you.

When its too late, only then will your eyes open,

Loved ones will be gone.

.

Time is not something that is a luxury.

It travels fast and is gone before we know.

What a shame is your misplaced focus in life

Polluted by zeal.

.

May you find happiness on this chosen path,

One you are traveling in solitary,

Blind to the sorrow of those that love you most,

Busyness your mate.

.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

    So true… even soccer moms and extreme couponers could take a note from this. Even bloggers….hmmm.

      I suppose that is true as well, although as far as blogging goes, yes I do it often, but not to the detriment of the family. I always have time for them with everything else taking a backseat. We all are busy, but must keep things in perspective. You do make a good point though, thanks for the comment my friend. :)

        I didn’t mean you. I was referring to someone else in particular. :)

        Oh no, that wasn’t my intention at all, I didn’t take it that way. I just thought you made a really good point with you comment. I just think you can still put you heart into something you love and not sacrifice the relationship you the family. Its all about balance. :)
