Mother Nature and Old Father Time

Mother Nature met Old Father Time, and what a good time they had
They cavorted for quite along while, she a girl, him a bit of a lad.
Then one day when Father Time, a wrinkle set in mother natures plan
All those things she gave birth too, he decided he's not a fan.
The renewal of all things good, Mother Nature sent our way
Father time lets them flourish, and then sends them on their way.
Mother Nature keeps giving birth, a wondrous mother she proves to be
But Old Father Time throws his tantrums, he tries to be the boss of she.
So the mother and father that we all know are still battling day by day
But let’s let them get on with it, and try not to get in either ones way.

Mandy, this is an extremely clever poem, you defy the safety net, that one adheres to, and create the most amazing poetry.. what ever the subject, you enlighten us all with wondrous words of pure logic, and magical mysticism

this is a really fun personification poem, Mandy. I much enjoyed. About the flippers. I didn't know how to get it across in only ten syllables, but when I was on a cruise, we wore flippers when we went into the ocean to dive. That is part of the cruise package, well at least on ours it was!!
