Endless Poem by Deborah Cromer

I felt time passing by
seeing the years made me cry
Wondering why seconds cannot last
I remembered days that have passed
A sumnly price is what I would have to pay
To make forever live in Eternity, within a day
If time were mine to do as I please
I could live my life with wonderful ease
Living each hour as if it were a year
A life quite brave and without any fear
I would live forever and not ever age
The End would never be written on any page
I could journey the Earth, passing through every door
There would be an endless world to explore
Maybe I would discover every unsolved mystery
Seeing all that ever was throughout history
It seems to me, that this would really be great
A gift to all that no one should hate
I am sure there would be those who would protest
But only because, they do not understand the quest
They are those who believe in anger and pain
They would strongly feel there would be nothing to gain
These people would not ever even lift
A small finger towards receiving such a fine gift
Instead they will suffer and die like the rest
Leaving only the happy to live through life's best
We would gather together with forever to spend
Living peacefully with Eternity, would have to depend
On whether or not we would hear our inner voice
Ever softly questioning our timely choice
