Evil? Father


Time takes and time destroys. but in many ways it gives me joy. Father time won't receive my message. so staying young about a question. I will continue to grow and change. life would be boring if it Stayed the same. but relationships end as my friends part ways. if only time stood still, would say stay? Growing does seem scary. Especially as my relatives grow weak and weary. The tic toc starts to sound like shouting. But I can't escape Are, there's no uses in pouting. There is no escaping change. The world continues to rearrange. Without change life would be boring. And what could be, would be left not knowing. So father time do your thing. I will live and be left waiting.
