Time Dance On The Road To Eternity

Does time think of us as it ages our face with wrinkles and lines?

Where did time come from and how does it wind itself or does it have a giant main spring?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I do have a few issues for time if I could sit down and chat with he she it

I could do without the gray and thinning hair

After all my hair was once so curly it looked like I was wearing a Groucho Marx wig

I’d ask why it took so many great people and left so many that seem to lack empathy

When will it lay its burden down and fold up the universe?

You know stuff like that

Of course time doesn’t take questions or give answers

It is its own force and can’t be denied

About the best we can do while living by it’s one rule of getting older

Is to dance and sing like no one is watching

After all we have two feet and two hands

What use are they if we don’t wave them around on our communal road to eternity?
