Time Anew

TIME ANEW (When we celebrate the coming of the New Year, we have to keep in mind...) Time, My best friend, My worst enemy, To my child you gave birth and My parents you took away, Happiness is your gift Suffering is your doing You took the bride to church and To cemetery you led the widow Love with you it grew in me So did her sister, hate To spirit you brought ecstasy and To the heart abhorrence Success came with you Failure likewise You made me proud to feel and Also to feel ashamed BUT Each time you come ANEW Jubilantly I celebrate For unconditionally I LOVE YOU Because I am your CHILD! ©Demetrios Trifiatis 01 January 2013
