Time Goes On

The tumbling tides rush in and out, As cheerful children run around and about. Splashing in the morning sun, I watch as time continues to run. As I walk through the sand, The heat of the sun consumes the land. Looking out towards the sea, I watch as time takes a knee. Confused to what he has in mind, Images start to play frightful and kind. No longer on a peaceful coast, I watch as time becomes my host. An image of his once smiling face, Causes my heart to begin to race. Soon the light fades from his eyes, I watch as time continues to go by. I feel the splashing of the water at my feet, I feel the warm wet tears as I begin to weep. I watch as time takes my hand. Standing in the tumbling tides, I know that time is on my side.
