Time Is On My Side
I’d catch you if I could
But timing’s never good.
You gifted me joy, gave me grief,
Inflicted wounds, granted relief.
Broke me down then healed me anew -
Challenged my courage through and through.
When darkness shadow fell upon
Your steady hands brought me to dawn.
You changed me from callous to kind,
You opened up my shuttered mind.
When my distress was in dispute,
You proved forwards’ the only route.
Tirelessly you taught me how
To savour every bit of now.
You formed me fine and aged me too,
But I don’t hold it against you.
You are my long term constant friend
As I’m yours to the very end.
Forever I’d hold you nearby,
If only, Time, you didn’t fly.
