The Land of Poems

Time

For something that can not be seen or heard
Time sure rules the earth
It's like a thief in the night
It's slick and is easy to hide

You don't even know when it was there
You only know that it suddenly disappeared
Don't wait on it because it won't wait on you

But there is something about time that you should know
When it comes it leaves a trace
A trace that can never be erased

Because the future is now the past
And you notice that a lot has changed
Things you never did, you will never be able to do because time came and you don't even know when

It feels like it was just yesterday I was a child
Carefree and happy as I could be
Back then I didn't see the thief
Time came and stole all those years from me

Because now I'm a teenager in a world I fear
The time has come for you to run
Just know that when it comes you better start running because every race has an ending

After all those years of youth
You will develop a weak frame
You will become soft and feeble
And then the afterlife will claim your soul
And that is time in a poem
