TIME
It doesn't break in noisily
It slips quietly like the morning breeze
Not to loot gold nor money
But love, health and youth.
Unlike a thief you can fight or see
Time robs you unnoticed
Until you look back
And realize what's gone
It moves unseen, with hands so sly
Turning our today to a faint goodbye
And only when memory aches and grieves
We know what time, the thief, retrieves.
