Time Is A River

Time Is a River time is a river that flows no one can stop where it goes straight as an arrow it rolls no eddy, no vortex, no shoals no place to stop and rest our souls we are prisoners of its steady flow

Interesting rhyme. As we age the more we realize how fast time goes by, and as the adage goes, "Use your time wisely."

Interesting, Oliver... We are prisoners of time. Yet we are to use it as we see fit. 'Therein lies the rub,' as Shakespeare might say. ~ Gott D. Willies

We can use it as we see fit but it doesnt change the flow. Thanks for reading.

This melodic poem rolls rhythmically off the tongue with a meaningful seemless monotone rhyme. Very impressive Oliver!
