TIME, MY COMPANION TO THE END
When we met you slowly marched along beside me
I prayed you would move faster
As impatiently I dreamed childish dreams about tomorrow
Eventually you caught up with me and we danced together as one
I did not notice you were slipping away
To the young you last forever
You now move so swiftly things whirl past me in a blur
The me that was no longer is
A stranger stares back from my mirror
The friends I had have gone away but will be seen again
Where the whirling ends
In the place where you are not
You will soon leave but for now we remain
Together you and I
For there is still much for us to do
We can love and laugh, we can see and feel
All the beauty that is ours this day
Tomorrow they are yours alone for I no longer am
You are not needed where I must go my companion to the end
For time has neither place nor home
Where eternity begins
