Time stands still not for a King |

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, /Kit |

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 |
