i can not wait for you
for i am sure you have heard
i wait for no one
not even you
it has always been
this way and
you can not change things

i will come whether you
are ready for me or not
but it is up to you
what you do with me
it has always been
up to you for
i was there when
you were born into this world
and i will be there
until the very end

you may curse me
you may try your very best
to out wit me
but you can not win
for i was set in motion
long before you took
your very first breath
many times you have
struggled against me
but your efforts only
made matters worse

i could be your friend
if you would only trust me
you know me all too well i suppose
telling you patience is a virtue
would only make you hate me
oh, so many people waste me
for to them i am merely time
but you are beautful
in your own way
so use me wisely
for i am thine

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

I hope this is not a truism, but a metaphor for something else, but it is a grim piece of work because it seems so real. You're taking me on with your sad and inner self worth, Faith. Good stuff.

To me this seemed like a parent talking to a teenager but I'm sure it could be interperted in many different ways. Enjoyed.

Thank you both for your comments. Hmmm, I didn't think this one would be difficult to interpret. I thought the last stanza was a dead giveaway.
