Title: Time is too slow for those who wait...
Post by: okarol on October 29, 2010, 02:32:25 PM

This isn't a dialysis/transplant poem per se, but whenever I hear the beginning, "Time is too slow for those who wait..." it makes me think of a dialysis patient waiting to get off treatment, and also reminds me of a kidney patient waiting for a transplant.

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity."
  --  Henry Van Dyke

Oldie.  You don't hear this song too much any more:  Time Is - It's a Beautiful Day

IN HER GARDEN OF YADDO

Hours fly,
Flowers die
New days,
New ways,
Pass by.
Love stays.

Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.
