The Passing of Time

Sometimes I wish I could

Make time stand still,

Especially in those precious moments

That flood my heart with joy.

Like staring deep into the eyes of

One you really love,

Or wondering at the wonder of

A child with a brand-new toy.

 

Sometimes I wish that time would move

More swiftly day by day

To bring about a promised change

Or reach a cherished goal;

Like when you say,” with time the

Pain of loss will fade away,”

Or, “If you work with diligence

You’ll find that pot of gold.”

 

Difficult to know the truth,

To reach for the sublime.

Difficult to learn the lessons

Taught by Father Time.
