The Key

Since my birth time has been pesent, fluid, tapping its flat feet in the shadows Clueless was I as to its definition, or what its relevance was to life Yet, I recall the joy of rainy days free of grown- up worry and strife Being quite shy, I'd daydream; gazing blue skies and hanging out windows Then suddenly, I turned and things changed! And I came to face the culprit Time! It made me abandon my childhood; I was forced to leave behind my toys Only Christmas celebrations and story books seem to bring me endless joy! How I'd brood over doing homework of subjects I found non-descript! In hindsight, all life meets Time on its terms, as it is, "The Ageless Wonder"! Forever moving; impervious to class or stature; faster now, and I'm in a daze! A consummate stalker it is, yet, leaving definite trails on each face! 'Is Time charged to monitor dreams'? Is a question I often ponder I imagine, at creation Time stood as the key which opens and shuts all doors! Seemingly built into all God's creatures maintaining order and strictest balance Time was and has been a true instrument of God’s awesome power and prevalence In a world where egos are gigantic and many want their share and more

Time is a reminder of God's presence in our lives, Audrey, and things do change over the course of our lives. I'm still a little shy, but smiled thinking of you becoming more of an extrovert as you left your childhood behind. Good luck in the contest. Best to you, Diane

Strange, but I tend to forget long periods of time. Like the old saying - "Just seems like yesterday." I look at the world with the same eyes I had so many years ago. Thank God for those eyes. Great write, Audrey. Love, Dave

Those rainy days in childhood truly were free of worry, Dimples, but time the stalker takes its toll on all of us. Nevertheless, you withstood the struggles you faced and held fast to your faith. God bless you for sharing this awesome poem, dear friend. Best wishes to you in Barbara's contest! Love, Carolyn
