TIME REVEALS PEOPLE
(written by Gail Batton - #94 - Thursday - 11/11/93 - 6:36 p.m.)
It is my ultimate conclusion
That when all is said and done
Time reveals people
You may have two trees
Full of beautiful green leaves
They both seem to be fruit trees
But, given enough time
One will bear much fruit
And one may never
Two vines may be bright to see
In time
One bears sweet berries
Another
Only poison ivy!!
Many times I've met a one
Who is so delightful to me
In time I see a violent rage
Or, a perverted way untold
A domineering tyranny
Or, a peculiarity too strange for me
The wonderful fact is when
Time reveals a beauty hidden
An unchanging person - truth
The same at all times
A treasure to know
A cherished life to behold
Time has passed
Of me
What shows?
