Time

​TIME  

Tick tock, tick tock   

Watch the fingers go round on the clock, 

Moving endlessly on, not caring. 

Time, we can 

Watch it, save it, 

Fill it, use it, 

Lose it, find it, 

Half it, double it, 

Give it, take it and even make it...... 

But time cheats us all in the end....

This is a clever little piece, working on so many daily, glib 'expressions' that we use so often. Keep writing. And 74 is anything but old!

Thanks for your comment huw. There are lots of thoughts I have about time and how it cheats and plays games. I guess they arise from my being 74 and my daughter passing when she was 38 when time caught her unawares. I've struggled to write since she went 16yrs ago. Maybe this is a beginning.....
