As Sumner sees it: Time so Brief for sons

Wednesday, June 22, 2016

Time so Brief for sons

Just woke up

Ever so brief

To let you know

Time is a thief

It takes your days

It makes you run

It steals the time

You spend with your sons

Give them love

Give them smiles

Let them know

That all the while

You're there for them

All else is fluff

The time you spend

Is never enough

Because they grow up

Way too fast

And the time you share

Can never last

Long enough

For you to say

I have no more

Time today

So be there whenever

You know you could

Each day each moment

Because you should

They're all you have

You're own to love

A gift from God

Sent from above

So I reach over now

And feel him sleep

My wayward son

My love he'll keep

I'm always here

I'll always be

The dad you need

The dad that's me

I love you son....

THANKS TO ALL WHO TOOK THE TIME

Today, February 10, 2012, was the day my Blog, "As Sumner Sees It", hit 1000 views. I had no idea it would ever reach that point, let alone so soon. I see it as a blessing and an opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to check me out. With out you I would be but a lone voice in the wilderness.

Now it is April 18, 2013. Today, I have 3333 views as I type. The readers have spanned the globe from Russia to Singapore. I have many posts and to show how so many get their share of readers I believe my most popular post has but 50 to 60 views. So, it appears I appeal to many in many different ways. Perhaps. I can only assume and boost my ego with speculation. Why not? Actually it is probably more in the middle. Some read and quit before they finish wondering why they bothered. Others read and think me some mental wave rider worth their time. Still, more are most likely neither inspired nor offended. They just want to see what I threw out this time. It doesn't matter to me. I am grateful for it all. This kind of expression. This sharing of my thoughts and where it takes me is my passion. If only it resulted in a livelihood I would be totally in my bliss. But I will settle for what I have and my thanks goes to you who read my efforts because it is but a therapy session without you. Please comment if it moves you. Your input tells me I'm doing something out there.

Be safe. Be open. Be excited. Life is something to cherish and it is our way of respecting those who no longer walk the earth by living it to it's fullest.

One Big Favor I Ask Of The Reader

I share these posts for all to read and ponder. The one thing I crave from all of this is your feedback. I am but a scream in the wilderness if I post and know nothing of the opinions others have on my thoughts. I know it sounds so narcissistic but it is true that I enjoy comments, be it good, bad, constructive, destructive, or apathetic. I will take each and respect every one with the understanding that your time is valuable and you took some of it to spend with me. Thanks for that above all.
