There's Still Time

...and lots of it.

There’s still time,
no matter what
the clock says.

There’s always another day,
a second or third chance,
a free forty-five minutes.

There’s still time,
no matter what
the barometer says.

There’ll be rain tomorrow
with lots of wind and cold,
but sun the following day.

There’s still time,
no matter what
the pundits think.

We’ve got much to do,
with plenty of loose ends,
but also plenty of help.

And there’s still time
no matter what
the mirror shows you.

Don’t be concerned.
Everyone knows
mirrors lie.
