Times the never stopping force
Will not veer or leave its course
Giving what we call remorse
For we can’t change its way

Seconds, seconds, rush on by
Leaving for the passed to cry
Moments brief, just wave goodbye
It’s then another day

Time stands still not for a King
Not for love or anything
Time will watch and time will sing
But never idle stay

So in life we need to run
Find appeal in all we’ve done
Nurture love and greet the sun
Before it fades away

“Time stands still not for a King
Not for love or anything
Time will watch and time will sing
But never idle stay”

Wonderful phrasing throughout. Rick ... and a beautiful format and rhyme scheme. Very much enjoyed this.

Best wishes,

Hi, Rick! Tempus fugit! Time flies! ~ and like you have so poetically implied, time stands still for no man! ~ not even a king!

Carpe diem! Seize the day! ~ and make it yours!

Loving hug,

Linda
