Time

"Time" by: Eric L. Boddie Tomorrow, it never comes For it is always today But the future will be realized For it lives in each and every Pre-K Only the now is forever Yet no one knows how long the now will last Because my most recent thought Is the newest entry in the Book of Eric's Past Because the life expectancy of the present Is so much less than the duration of a single breath Because by the time I am ready to exhale Who knows how many instances have left For a true concept of time Is, perhaps, the vaguest mystery Because within the blink of an eye The future becomes history And that is not meant to confuse Or to cloud anyone's perception But we all need to understand That death begins at the moment of conception And unless there is a rebirth Life has no meaning within itself Because only in the soul Can a man truly acquire wealth And wealth is derived from the Word And the Word came from above And time will never die But it can be conquered by Love And Love is the Word You have to take It for what It's worth And if you don't know It's value Look in the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

I wish time is ours to control it with our hands ..but then I think, what's gone had gone and now I must use all the time I have not to living the past but to live the present and the future only ..this is a very beautiful poem ...so glad I've stopped by to read it... Hugs :D dalia
