Time can go by quickly when we’re having a good time Or feel like an eternity when we’re trying to make a dime In childhood days seemed to be so long and carefree Not realizing as adults our days are now a daily gift to see Time is often captured and displayed in our homes with flair As beautiful clocks and watches or jewelry timepieces to wear Time can be a difficult thing to grasp, understand and respect Knowing we can’t stop its progression, change it or interject Time can also be captured in beautiful pictures on the wall Sometimes a bittersweet memory of a time we had it all Years have passed and now our time has become a precious gift Knowing that time has an expiration date, and our fate may shift Time can be a powerful reality and a phenomenon in our lives We never really know after it begins when the ending will arrive Hopefully, memories of us will live on in our poetry, pictures and art And treasured pieces of our time will be preserved before we depart

Can time increase or lessen its pace? I doubt it. It is all relative. I love your poem on time, though. Soon, it will be midnight, and ships will blow their horns. I'll be fast asleep. Happy New Year.

The unstoppable march of time, like you say it doesn't seem to move when we're young but as we get older it seems to speed up. We have to use what time we have left wisely. A shame it can't be slowed down. Hope your weekend is going well Tania. Tom
