Here One Minute -

HERE ONE MINUTE? The tree it grows The stream it flows Each in its time Not yours nor mine The May bug flies In hours it dies Yet for each one A full life’s run Does time speak true? Our lives accrue Each minute new To have or rue Too short a pass As dew on grass Or long, as known By rock or stone So take each day For work or play I’ll write my rhyme And make my time 4 October 2019 (it is alleged)
