Time

Time is a funny thing I've seen it change human beings A day is a day it is no lie Tell me why some drag while others fly I think of time and all it does How we can't turn it back to how it was See time is a thing that cuts no slack Moving forever forward-never back Time is a father it is true Father time watches over you You meet his sister at the gate His sister’s name lets call her fate Time is a teacher of lessons learned Fate makes sure that they are earned Together they tweak, bend and mold your soul Until a single day is a distant goal Sometimes life gets so insane To look ahead causes to much pain And looking back tears apart What is left of the heart? Lose your dreams of the future and memories of the past And you will have learned to do your time at last These three poems - Prison, life and time are resubmits I have posted for Michael Torres.

So much here and so much truth, amazingly expressed. Very introspective and insightful. A beautiful dedication from someone who has learned life's lesson well, to say the least, and who is so very wise (and so much more) for it. Love, Shar
