Time is Precious

Do you need time?

Time is finite and precious.

Growing old I have suddenly realized that I have little time to live. This realization has helped me make the right choices for my family.

A working mother, I have spent little time with my children at home. I remember coming back after an official visit abroad to see my third son had become taller than me!

There are so many more instances of their growing up and leaving for overseas to pursue further studies that I had missed.

How to make up for the time gone?

Fortunately, I have one grandson who lives with his mom and dad nearby and I see him often but not enough.

I need time to love the people I love.

Creative and inspirational writer of stories, poetry, and haikus I am also an addictive reader of novels, poetry, haiku, and children's storybooks. I am the author of SOUL POETRY a book of inspirational poems, verses, and quotes published by Partridge India (2015) The Maker of Miracles (2006) published in the USA by Dorrance Publishing and My Journey with God (2008) published under the banner of Sai Towers, India is the narration about my spiritual journey. My new poetry book INK Echo of life and love published by Éditions de L’Ocean Indien (2019) in Mauritius, my birth country is a collection of love poems extolling the feelings and desires of women. The Princess and the Crow is my first storybook for children, released by Austin Macauley Publishers London in March 2019. Two years later, I was inspired to write and published two other books - WAKASHIO, a storybook for children, and PINK MOON - AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU POEMS. I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural, unpretentious, and full of beauty.

  7. Sofia, ( my ten month old granddaughter) arrives in Lima from London on Monday. Just put the wooden cot together where her Mum used to sleep many years ago! I know what you mean!
