Time Runs Away From Us All

There are reasons why old men Never accomplish what they intended; Grass mowed, buttons sewed, Weeds pulled and fences mended. It's a conspiracy of time Making failures of us all As life becomes unwound while we are slowing down And time speeds up for that last long haul. The lists become longer The clock hands move faster And try a we might it soon become quite Evident time is our master. by E. Marshall Evans
