Time Is Our Treasure

She took a seat and began to play Piano sounds through the air of May Resonating with careful jubilation This daughter of mine is young and strong She's gifted with the breadth of song And as I listen I notice with elation Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure It lets us bridge the young and old It gives us stories to be told It strengthens who we are And lets us imprint our lives on others Time is our Treasure Behind her stands a man of age Same blood as her from an ancient age He's listening with utmost admiration This father of mine is mature and meek And it's his wisdom that we seek He gives us our needed inspiration. Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure It lets us bridge the young and old It gives us stories to be told It strengthens who we are And lets us imprint our lives on others Time is our Treasure She got off the stool and turned around Looked up at him and he looked down Exchanging generational expressions She smiled at him as he looked proud He embraced her as he knew how And from all of this I learned an important lesson Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure It lets us bridge the young and old It gives us stories to be told It strengthens who we are And lets us imprint our lives on others Time is our Treasure [Piano Solo (by young girl)] Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure Time is our Treasure 2013 T'' Contest, New or Old Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France
