Read Poem: MORE TIME, by Talin Eshaghoff

My cup overfloweth
With glory and pain
But complain do not I dare
For worse I can’t bear

Life so short but my day so long
Grin and bear it I try
My child with others time spent
What more can I rent

I watch the minute but the hours I did not see
I rush and consolidate but where’s my efficiency
More time I need
More time I need

Try and perfect
Do and repeat
Where have I gone
What have I been

Same journey same glory
Over and over and over again
Tell me when will this end
When will happy I see again.
