Time Has Come Today

Posted on January 13, 2011 | 11 Comments

The words are mine the thoughts universal
See the brilliance of youth’s potential
My own life inconsequential
Sands of time deplete, replete
Not ours to own or keep
Long enough to mete
Hills not too steep
Babies creep
I sleep
Deep

A sage poem,,, so true very little we can actually possess for it goes back to the earth when we pass this way, except as you cleverly say in your first sentence “the words are mine”

cheers,

Wonderful. Sometimes what we call our own is actually universal.
