These Times

These times In as much as all they say That time is what you waste away With numbers posted on display To think that it is free When counting minutes on a face Leaves hours you forgot to trace Expand yourself through time and space Be all that you can be For every tick does brings a tock It can not be that big a shock When twice a day a broken clock Is right for those who see Rejoice within each passing hour For you my friend have got the power To touch a heart as seconds shower These times on you and me

Every day we met people. How we portray ourselves will leave them as part of us or us as part of them. Nicely done.
