Another poem about time



                time,they say
        will heal the wounds
   the unseen doctor
of future moons
time and rain make flowers grow
a smile and time and friendship shows
                   the rich can`t buy it     
             the poor have too much
           time is the element
             that makes you adjust
        steal it away and try to hide it
                  clocks can keep it
                  the hours untie it
               the strongest of us
               have tried to stop it
                 but time goes on
                      irregardless
             spend as much time as you can
                 because time and life
                     run hand in hand
          and when at last
          your time runs out
            you might just find
          what life's all about
