Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. I like old Sandburg but like most poets he lived in another world. When you're raising four kids and an ex-wife your choices are sometimes limited. I am getting to a better appreciation of what is important and what is not. The only problem is that by the time that I get it right I will die of something and it won't have mattered. C'est la mort.

Back in my hippie days my tagteam partner was a poet, and I couldn't agree with you more.
I'd tell him to do something(say do dishes) why he'd ask, I finally came up with the correct answer "Because if you don't I'll hit you HARD." And then he'd go do it, all he needed was a reason.
