Time - a Freewrite

avatar

A baby's cry and a mother's smile,
Before the sun turns, a child is grown. She packs a lunch, puts her boy on a bus, then goes into her kitchen to cry over coffee. She asks God, "Where did my baby go?"
The sun turns again and he's asking for car keys, he's got a date to the dance. She watches them leave through a veil of night then closes her book to wait.

Time marches on, and he's packed to go. College awaits, and the cat can't go. Mom packs him his jacket and boots for the snow, secretly wishing that he wouldn't go.

What has happened to all that time? It's passed with a blur and onward they move. Live for the moment. Live fully today, because tomorrow is coming to steal time away.

This is my five minute freewrite

That is what we must do my dear Janelle, not spend time killing ourselves to earn money to pay the bills, because that will be a cycle that will never end.

It is better to dedicate yourself to enjoy, to live, to talk, interact and take even 1 hour a day to chat with someone, no matter who it is.

I don't have voting power at the moment, but I'm leaving you a !BBH for your enjoyment, still, I'll give you votes with my other accounts if they have at least 90% HP.

A hug.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd almost think the time had somehow been speeded up!

I just read this and found that I wrote on the same lines as you wrote. Are we related? lol

I think we're from the same generation so maybe the prompt spoke closely to us both!
