I've Time Enough To Wander
Contest Entry, Inspirations, Prompt: I've Time Enough to Wander
Rated:

I’ve time enough to wander.
A lifetime to pursue
Those things I’ve always wondered
Of what I'd like to do.

So I began my journey,
Wandering here and there.
Always with time to wander,
Without worry, without care.

I formed no great attachments.
No bonds of love I’d make.
I’ve time enough to wander
These things my time would take.

I traveled to great cities.
I visited foreign ports.
My time enough to wander
Took me to grand resorts.

There were sometimes companions
Who’d share my precious time;
Alone again I’d wander.
My life, I thought sublime.

But, time can be so fickle.
We all must pay the toll.
In time enough to wander
I found that I was old.

Infirm, I couldn’t wander.
No time left to pursue.
No time left for adventures,
My wandering was through.
