Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Time

Time has a way of running fast
 present is not far from the past
they hold hands give a squeeze
depart upon incoming breeze.

Another day another year
time that becomes most dear
embrace as they say goodbye
 leave longingly with a sigh.

The past is in the past
gone by does not last
Present is in the now
Cannot hold past no way, no how.
