Time

Time is an idea given to us

To make us think how we live

We can put off deadlines and wait patiently

But time we cannot give

 

Can a man control time?

Or do we exist in between

Will anyone catch this elusive thief?

That still has yet to be seen

 

Time has elapsed since I’ve seen that face

Since I’ve been with her

Now just a distant memory

Did that time occur?

 

Time has stolen that brief period

That I had with my great love

Aging all, from the grass in the field

To starry skies above

 

I now await my time

While I watch time come and go

When will my time come?

Only time will ever know
