Time

Tick tock
The clock pushes
Its hands against all time
Slipping away we lose the days
Tick tock

You’re living your days. I know what you accomplish in any given day because we’re friends so let me tell something unequivocally…it’s enough. You’re enough. Trust me as your friend. You’re doing fine.

Time, friend or foe? each day, not the same. I like your poem. it makes me think.

Time...it goes so fast. Things change as they must, even if it's difficult. How grateful I am for certain memories and I wonder where time has gone...

time slows for those horrid moments that break either our bodies or our minds and hearts. rarely for the quiet times. I wish you all the best.

how much everything has changed, every day. Being nearly 75 yrs. of age, and looking back, I wonder at the time that has slipped away. I try to remember the first time for lots of things and reflect on how differently the world looks upon things that were supposed to be concrete. Now, things are constantly in flux, and moving faster and faster. I am in awe of the things that young people like you are capable of, and amazed that you manage to accomplish so much. You have my sincere admiration,
[the daughter I never had]. ~ Geez.
