Time Poem by William J. (Skip) Henderson Jr.

Time

Rating: 5.0


Time... the only thing we really have
Material things are only temporary possessions.
Time is what you make of it;
We can give it, sell it, trade it or invest it.
Has no shape, form, or volume: it just is.

It passes on as do we when it is our time.
Time is on our side, we can make it if we try
When with the right person.
Nothing is as certain as time,
Not even love or hate happiness or sorrow.

We can increase its value by investing in education
So it can be sold for wages at a higher rate.
Once passed it is gone and cannot be reproduced
All we have to show for it is a paycheck stub,
A gold watch, a plaque, a handshake or thank you note.

How we spend it is reflective of character.
It can be put to it best use by giving it to teach our young.
We can give it to benefit others or we can use it to
To develop ourselves and our own attributes.

We can make good use of it or we can squander it
It gets used and wasted and all things wear out because of it
We try to get to a place in time so we can waste it or
We can get there on time so we won’t be late.
Everything is ………… just a matter of time!
