If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Yesterday I wrote about my initial reaction to the part of the movie “In Time” which envisaged a world where time is a commodity. The rich could hoard time and basically live forever while the poor had no hope of living beyond their allotted time. Everyone had a digital clock on their arms so they knew exactly when they would die.
That is a bit depressing but I was blessed that God changed my perspective. In the afternoon my grand daughter and I were lying in bed and reading before her nap. We giggled and made silly observations ( it was The Sleep Book by Dr Seuss) and she finally fell asleep. I lay listening to her little baby snores and looked at her peaceful, fear-free face. If I could save time in a bottle I would certainly save that time.
I give thanks for that privilege. We don’t deserve it but He blessed us with a grand child. Not to be discontented but I’m asking for more grand children... lots more. Then our (Richard’s and mine) box just for wishes would be empty.
