Time

TIME The tree it grows The stream it flows Each in its time Not yours nor mine The hill looks on Then they are gone The pass of time Not called by chime The May bug flies In hours it dies Yet for each one A full life’s run You see the span Of beast or man Seems full for each Or far too brief Is time a truth? No end in sooth Or each one’s view To have or rue A brief short pass As dew on grass Or long as known By rock or stone Each soul may oft Find hard or soft To face the cost Of gain or loss So take each day As work or play I’ll write my rhyme And make my time
