Another poem about time
time,they say
will heal the wounds
the unseen doctor
of future moons
time and rain make flowers grow
a smile and time and friendship shows
the rich can`t buy it
the poor have too much
time is the element
that makes you adjust
steal it away and try to hide it
clocks can keep it
the hours untie it
the strongest of us
have tried to stop it
but time goes on
irregardless
spend as much time as you can
because time and life
run hand in hand
and when at last
your time runs out
you might just find
what life's all about
