Time

"You are wasting your time." I am standing at the door. "Do you want to buy girl scout cookies?" The knock on another door. "Do you want to buy a chocolate bar for Red Cross?" "Do you want to subscribe to the newspaper today?" "You are wasting your time." "Do you want to buy tickets to the football game?" "I am waiting in the line for the bus tickets to Acapulco." "You are wasting your time." I am knocking on the door for the elderly. "Come in. You don't have to sell us anything. We are watching the tree grow." I am meeting a child jumping a rope. "I am done with my homework. I have time before mom will call me for dinner." Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 9/17/2009
