Time

Time is a strange thing

     slowly flowing down down down

           rushing away in a breeze

Time heals heartbreak

      changes a person

          for better or worse

leaves you bleeding 

until the day 

when enough time has passed

Time catches up on you

          dancing like a carefree child

              then slouching like an exhausted teen

Time is a warning 

        all lives come to an end

            all people say goodbye to loved ones

sometimes time is awful

you end with time running away before you are ready

       not able to say those words 

             missing the chance to say goodbye 

But I think time is a magical thing

     I show the scars of time in my brown eyes

         all my heartbreak and all my healing

             the trials of growing up 

  and my parents love
