Not a Moment to Waste.

This is a poem for my son, Hector.

Be impatient
Be free
Run wild
Climb trees
And dance in the light of the moon

Feel the beat in your heart
Seize the moment
Take part
For there’s not a moment to waste

Grow, child
Look up
Look around
Fill your cup
And drink deep from life’s bottomless trough

Give freely your love
To the ones you think of
For there’s not a moment to waste

Be brave
Chase your dreams
And whenever life seems
To be cruel
Just remember you’re loved

Find your joy
Or keep searching
The world keeps on turning
And there’s not a moment to waste
