Thoughts
You have a thought preserve it if you can,
Don't delay its existence use it and plan,
Within only seconds it's lost and gone,
You can ponder and later search long.
Gems and treasure the potential is great,
Ignore even momentarily it's then too late,
You never recover what you could share,
Forget the clock record it right there!
Try as you may you simply can't recall,
As you concentrate there's this brick wall,
Men and women from all over the place,
Know what I mean it's gone without trace!
