A poem that bubbled out of our anniversary and associated musings.....

 

TIME

Einstein said time's relative

To what? I’d like to know

To me the weeks pass fast

Yet minutes sometimes slow

Next week is tardy coming

But childhood strangely near

I am both older than I feel

And younger than I fear

Thoreau said killing time injures eternity

Minutes wasted lost and gone

The past is past, the web’s been spun

This day, this year, this life soon done

So cherish moments, every one

Look back, live on, love free
