Time My Funny Friend

"Time... Always here but never here." By Poet

Time my funny friend,
I cannot see you or feel you.
Yet time you are always with me,
from morning until night.
The clocks tick off,
the many minutes and hours.
The calendar takes off the 365 days, 
52 weeks and the 12 months.
Time where do you live,
out in space or in the clocks?
My friend you like to hide and play with me,
and with each new day you are right on time.
Time you are my best friend when I am happy or,
my enemy when I am hurt or sad.

Panagiota Romios April 27, 2025 at 12:33 AM A strong awrsome write. We all didn’t think that we are gonna live forever.. my messages only go to bed at night. We do not know we wake up in the morning.. we take time for it like it’s endless, all we are is travelers on time trainl and you can use it in great ways or just to make ourselves popular, which is I think is waste, Pangie Paula Goldsmith April 27, 2025 at 10:48 AM Thanks for stopping over and for your support.
