Don’t Waste Time: It’s all you have

Don’t Waste Time

Don’t waste time in fussing and fretting
As they say, don’t sweat the little things,
The big thing is that you love her
That you do the best you can
That you can help her say “I am!”

For if you find her lonely,
Or if perchance she cries,

Don’t stop to ask the whys,
You should go and hug her;

Just go ahead and be there,
That’s the most important moment.

Don’t stop and ask about tomorrow,
The moment is today;
Unless you live the moment,
You will rue the day.

What seemed so urgent yesterday
Is not so much today;
Today is when she needs you,
What else counts just now?

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

H. W. Bryce

Do not waste your time in fretting,
Do not spend your day regretting,
You could use that time for loving,
Do not rue this day you’ve lost.

Spend your time inside the moment,
Share the joy you’ll find together,
You can handle any weather
Do not spend your day regretting.

Just be there inside that hour,
Being there will give her power,
And you will feel the power of love,
Do not waste your time in fretting.

You will know you’ve done a good thing,
She’ll smile, your hand will be her wing,
You’ll both live inside that moment,
You can use that time for loving.

Do not lose that chance for loving,
Do not cheat her of such living,
Do not rue the day you may have lost,
Do not waste your time regretting.
