Gershon Wolf Poet Personification

Time Has Endless Patience

Time has endless Patience
There from the start
There too, 'twill be, at the end
  when all else departs

Time's a humbler of Empires
Outlasts them all
Watches monuments crumble
  no matter how solid
  no matter how tall

The glory that was Greece
The grandeur that was Rome
  In Time's rear-view mirror now
  Majesty become soil's loam

Time is dispassionate
It goes its own way --
Yet it's ours to utilize for the good
  ~ every moment, every day

Lindsay Laurie February 29, 2020 at 8:53 PM G'day Gershon … time is one of the few things that is truly ours so it is up to us if we waste it or not, so whatever happens we cannot hold up time - thank you Gershon, I enjoyed this poem - Lindsay Gershon Wolf February 29, 2020 at 9:09 PM Just think, Lindsay: if we hold up time, then we are robbing ourselves of precious time. Sounds like biting off your nose to spite your face, eh?! :) gw

Tom Cunningham February 26, 2020 at 12:48 AM We have to make every second count because we never get any lost second back. Tom Gershon Wolf February 26, 2020 at 12:43 PM No losing any seconds! I make sure not to lose any seconds at the dinner table! LOL. Thanks, Tom. ~ Gershon

Kim Rodrigues February 25, 2020 at 7:01 PM Time is ours to do with...make it count. Gershon Wolf February 25, 2020 at 10:13 PM That's the ticket. As Jagger sang, 'Time is on my/our side!' ~ gw
