Time

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

Victor Buhagiar Date: 12/31/2024 9:46:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Tania Kitchin Date: 12/31/2024 3:55:00 PM Victor, thank you, Happy New Year!

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/29/2024 10:25:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Tania Kitchin Date: 12/29/2024 12:13:00 PM Tom, thank you.
