Notes About The Poem

" PASSING OF TIME " MY PHOTO, ©

Mighty Time Vii

Oh, mighty Time, 

You are my best friend, but also
My worst of enemies

For

You bring life to this world, but 
Easily you take it away 

Happiness, certainly, is your gift
Suffering is your doing

To my child, you gave birth and 
My parents, you took them away,

You accompanied the bride to the church, and
To cemetery, you led her widow  

Love with you it grew in me
So did her sister, hate

To my spirit, you brought ecstasy and
To my heart abhorrence  

With your passing came success but
Also came Failure 

You made me proud to feel but
Also, you made me feel ashamed

But

Each time beside me you stand 
Jubilantly I celebrate

Because 

Life you breathe into my lungs
Hope into my soul 

Thus
  
Unconditionally I LOVE YOU 
Since I am your CHILD!
