In Time

The hardest stones may crumble
	in time.
The surest feet may stagger and stumble
	in time.
But hearts will melt, tears will dry
Children grow and learn to fly
	in time.

The tallest towers may tumble
	in time.
The greatest speakers stutter and mumble
	in time.
But pain will dim, sadness pale
And in the dawn darkness will fail
	in time.
