Time Passes

Time passes as swift streams and rivers flow,
As mighty waves crash against shores of rock.
As tight cocoons into butterflies grow
And snowgeese to warmer southern climes flock.

Every precious word and lasting moment
Has shaped the journey started with my birth.
My existence is so magnificent.
I long to explore and learn on this earth.

As my heart pumps vital blood through my veins,
I truly feel I must accomplish more.
Life does not reveal how much time remains.
I will create memories my mind can store.

I am a little boat sailing the seas,
Battling high waves, harsh winds and lack of sleep.
I call for help but no one hears my pleas
As I explore alone the ocean deep.

Time passes. All my life lies before me.
My wisdom and talent I long to give.
I am only one among so many,
Thanking time for every second I live.

I must trust my fearless boat will take me
To places my hidden destiny lies.
I hope I will be remembered fondly
When my mind and body finally dies.
