Time

I saw a break in the light.
I saw time change in the night.
Aged lines grew and grew.
Beauty dies in the mirror true.

I felt a change in my mind.
I knew that time was not on my side.
Which path to follow now few.
Ask what love remains inside you?

I feel strength starting to die.
Frailty seen of me through my eyes.
I find pleasure in time now relaxing my mind.
Not chasing each second of time.

I knew age once seen through innocent bright eyes.
I knew love when love filled my whole life.
Time devours anything alive.
But love lives forever in time.
