Time

Time


How fragile is our time on Earth.

The seconds, minutes, days, years

A commodity so precious and rare.

We develop and grow – our time marked by dragging through the year

and the action packed race through summer.

Time pushing us out of that routine and into life.

Marking time, we march through life, often blind to the passage

Children’s lives show us how quickly time is moving.

Babies – walking, talking, starting school

Elementary, middle, high, and college, it‘s a blur

Our babies married and on to their own bout with time.

                                            Suddenly you find you’re old

                                           Where has the time gone?

                                           How can this be?

                                           I still feel so young-

                                          But God, look at me.

                                          My body soft, my hair is grey,

                                          I was just 15 the other day…

                                                                     Things to do.

                                                                     No time, it’s true.

                                                                     Needs to meet,

                                                                     Dead on your feet.

                                                                    Need to sleep,

                                                                    I see you, my soul leaps

Spending my precious time with you…For me, the most perfect thing to do.
