Daylight Savings Time Poem by Shawn Marie Edmiston

An hour gained is nothing
When it’s all been said
It’s your last day here
And my last day here with you.

It’s a little sad that
There is nothing significant
To do with the gift
Of just 60 minutes more
That we haven’t done in
The past 6 months.

One hour won’t change the fact
That you have something to go to
Or the reasons I have to stay.

Ironically, the one time
We can cheat time
It is just not enough
To change the future.
