A time well spent

The time that flies

In the blink of the eye

The times we had

No money could buy

The pleasure and pain

My greatest treasure

No regrets granted

Humbling peace in this purpose

Raised with care,

By which only time can commit

Held so dear by the heart

May no human part

This will transmit,

As loves sacred sacrifice

Not to be passed up,

Just passed on

From birth to death

The love that carries you

Your whole journey through

-Camille Delaquise

This poem appears in Behind the Facade, Camille’s debut contemporary poetry collection. A time well spent speaks to love as life’s deepest inheritance — suggesting that what endures is not wealth or possession, but the quiet, sacrificial care that carries us from one generation to the next.
