The Pulse of Life
written by: Jane Bradshaw
Let me go gently
Please
Time on earth – is fleeting:
Forwards, sideways, up – down
Meandering slowly
Or flashing past
Like a shooting star
Time with loved ones – is fleeting:
Don’t waste a moment
Speak from the heart
Share visions, dreams
And the heartaches
Time making memories – is fleeting:
Money isn’t important
Status doesn’t matter
Possessions don’t define you
Creating moments matters
When it’s my time
Let me go gently
Please
Jane hails from the distant shores of Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia. She has lived there all her life and has raised three young Adults. After 7 years as a Loans Officer and 6 years as a Rates Officer Jane found herself at university, studying to be a Primary School Teacher. Now in her seventeenth year of teaching, she has taken on the challenge of being the Student Wellbeing and Inclusion Teacher at her school. Jane has been a part of a poetry writing group for over five years and a short story writing group for over four years. Her passion for writing began in high school, and she continues to write because it is a deep intrinsic part of who she is. She has been published in four Anthologies, on a few writing platforms and one day she hopes to have her own collection of poems and a novella published.
