              TIME
       By ... Steve Lucky

The passage of time will continue on
Long after you and I are gone.
Time's stream had made its banks well worn
Before any of us were ever born.
It continues indifferent to objections we might have.
Though sometimes it acts like a healing save,
It can cause us to drift slowly further apart.
Time will slow down even the beating heart
Until one day it stops completely.
Although this can be said more sweetly,
We can not escape our inevitable demise
No matter what our lifespan size.
Time will flow at its own steady pace.
Through life's obsticles we do not need to race.
As they arrive we face them one at a time.
Life has its beauty as well as its grime.
If the stream of time continues its motion
Eventually it will reach the ocean
And then we will see how eternity will be
Because all the rest is history.
