The Genie of Time Wishing, hoping are lamps with a prime All of us rub the genie of time. Given to us when first we are born Stays with us till our very last dawn. Our very last dawn, our very last morn Time will exist till then it is sworn. And non can say on the very last day They changed their minds and they want to stay. Your path of days flows only one time Life is the bell and you are the chime. Yours is the song and you sing it solo So if I were you I'd be Marco Polo. Some fade quickly some play the game Happy or sad, non are the same Then words are left a gift of the mind Markers to those who still stay behind. A marker may read, to all of the brave Use your genie, not as a slave. You've already won your beat on the drum Think of the multitudes never to come. Use it well with thought and with grace And clean it up for the next one in place. |

Wonderful! I like the last 2 couplets. This is all so true, and an imaginative way of expressing it. Liz |
