Time

Time ticks ever so slowly forward

No friend to call my own

Always alone,

No friend by my side except time

Time is always here

Telling me what I'm missing

And to not be afraid

Father time will come

That is for sure

I wonder will he be a friend or a foe

Will I smile or be afraid

With a look of sorrow upon my face?

Father time what will you think of me

What will you do

For time comes for us all

Broken and whole

All people must go

Some of us sooner than others

Some of us never quite ready

Yet you come, with no mercy for the soul

Our loved ones may cry, we may not be ready

However, when it's our time you will come

Without all the fanfare without all the colors and the moon

You will come

In darkness and sorrow

In light and brightness

You will also come

Time moves slowly forward every second

Every choice is forever embedded

Will my time here be meaningless?

Or will I die knowing that I lived a life worth while

Time is my eternal enemy

For the choices that I've made

Will I regret it when father time comes to take me away?

Time for me is never a standstill

Its always moving so slowly forward

Only forward is how we go

Until one day we are nothing but dust and bones

When it's my time I hope that father time gets a chuckle

For their ill lay covered in vines

Waiting for a friend that none of us can escape

For time is a friend to no one

We all must leave at some point in time

Some of us sooner than others

But all of us forever touched by love

So, father time I'll be waiting

For my time to come

For you my friend

Because time is limited for us all.

Time is my immortal enemy and friend.
