Geoffrey Brewer Poet Rhyme

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
