TIME


Time is the tortoise
Time is the hare
Sometimes moves slowly
And then you are there

It’s there as a blessing
As well as a curse
To give you life’s treasures
Or give you much worse

It creeps and it sprints
When you’re unaware
Until you have journeyed
But it doesn’t care

It gives you reminder
That life is but short
But none of us listen
And lesson is naught

That’s all I can tell ya
And all that I know
Time gives an innings
And then we just go

Rick - There's a lot of life and living in your words and each cannot exist without Time. Nicely crafted Rick. Enjoyed. Namyh
