Eternity Stands Guard
quote by Phyllis McGinley (1905-1978)
“Time is the thief you cannot banish”
Eternity waits: Your end, tyrannish.
“Time is the thief you cannot banish.”
Days then weeks begin to vanish;
whole months stolen in a span
as your brain turns to bran.
You don't remember
whence December.
Who am I
to die?
Aye.
