Defining Time

We are all children held tight in the arms of time As it passes we must learn to grow and then read the sign Eventually time becomes master to us all For one-day father time will be making his final call Wrinkles come with wisdom we earn over the years They glorify our laughter and they signify our tears Time is the one thing that can break down the most vain They say time has the ability to heal any pain Time is forever it is as vast as the sky You will never defeat time no matter how hard you try Spend your life living and cherishing the time you have got Because one day your time on earth will end, like it or not These final words that I pen are the swish of my sword Time is a living entity we all know as the Lord For Brian's contest
