Time
Should time eradicate all my fears and doubts
The painful memories of my troubled past
The cruel and biting words from unfriendly mouths
And grant inner peace and contentment at last,
Should time with a kind and generous hand
Grant fortune and favour among friends and family
Health and happiness and prosperity in the land
And thereafter the rewards of heaven for all eternity,
But time is not a kind and caring father
Subject to the whims and desires of man
It does not create or sustain the natural order
Although bound to the will of his divine plan,
No, time is an ever changing moment that swiftly passes
In which we count all our gains and all our losses.
