Rewrite repost: Father Time Four and twenty black words baked in a rhyme When the rhyme was read it spoke of father time It spoke of prime, middle and old age And each was given time and a page Youth was full of fire and stroke Paid no attention to the smoke And ridiculed the thought of death It felt he breathed forever’s breath While middle age could see its fault And brought it to a sudden halt Searching for the peaceful strings To sew the garment of all things Than age began to sum it up And put it in a buttercup He named the cup the Holy Grail And offered it to no avail For life is in a constant pour The roaring of beginnings core The changing that would seem a crime This grain of sand that counts our time |

Only one who has lived a long life as you, knows how to sum up time with a rhyme. Wish I didn't waste so much of my time worrying about the years, and just enjoyed them as they are given to me. |

 I like the rhythm of this one, but I don't like the fact that every now and then I feel Father Time breathing down my neck. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Sy, you're so right and you are a genious. Time waits for no man, and no-one is guaranteed tomorrow. So, gather your rosebuds while ye may! To thy own self be true |
