This Is Thetime Poem by James Casey

This is the Time

I have come to you very late at night,
I have come to you in the middle of the day
I've been with you for all your years
I'll stay with you til you pass away

I’ll be with you always cloud or sunny day.
You like your flowers, in a beautiful bouquet.
I’m with you whenever you close your eyes,
I’m always touching you, loving your gentle sighs

I'll reassure you, caress you, hold you tight,
Giving you a sense of freedom,
... the center of your internal might.

I know of the battles, you've lost and won,
I know of loves both, past and present,
Yet I can leave you standing tall,
... and feeling overwhelmingly pleasant.

I can bring you to places you have never been,
Fill you with feelings that will make you soar,
I do my work within your interval of rest and yet,
... I’m always with you, forever more

Who am I? you ask with that silly little smirk,
I am the reason for your worthiness, you jerk
I am the resolve that prompts you from within
This is your time, go spread them and fly
