Time It Does Not Wait Poem by Francis Duggan

The baby born yesterday is one day older today
And time on her or his existence is ticking away
Youth with anyone does not have a long stay
Nobody gets younger in truth one can say
The longest lived human life in real time not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Time does not wait it keeps on ticking on
At midnight this evening today will have gone
Old Dave the former champion athlete always talks of the past
He likes to tell of the days when his legs did move fast
But going back the years this now seems long ago
And time that rusts iron has since become his foe
The baby born yesterday today is one day old
Time it does not wait as has often been told.
