Time
"Time"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Tomorrow, it never comes
For it is always today
But the future will be realized
For it lives in each and every Pre-K
Only the now is forever
Yet no one knows how long the now will last
Because my most recent thought
Is the newest entry in the Book of Eric's Past
Because the life expectancy of the present
Is so much less than the duration of a single breath
Because by the time I am ready to exhale
Who knows how many instances have left
For a true concept of time
Is, perhaps, the vaguest mystery
Because within the blink of an eye
The future becomes history
And that is not meant to confuse
Or to cloud anyone's perception
But we all need to understand
That death begins at the moment of conception
And unless there is a rebirth
Life has no meaning within itself
Because only in the soul
Can a man truly acquire wealth
And wealth is derived from the Word
And the Word came from above
And time will never die
But it can be conquered by Love
And Love is the Word
You have to take It for what It's worth
And if you don't know It's value
Look in the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
