“Quality Time”

| Laura Lee Bonde

if you didn’t know who I was
would you want to know me
if I was merely in the crowd
would you approach me

being seen isn’t

or pretend to
how do we come to love each other
or pretend to

the time we invest
matters
and when there is no time
is one forgotten

I’m fine being in perfect relationship with God, walking with Him in the cool of the day twenty-four/seven.
