Time is like Water - An Original Poem By Evelynn Lammlin


Time,

Time is like water

So easily lost

So easily wasted

So…

Needed

But we can’t give everyone the water they need

They Deserve

Just like the people

Who doesn’t get the right amount of time

Eventually

We run out

We run out of Water

We run out of Time

Everyone does

But we can’t refill

Time

Like we can

Water

Time

Is a set amount

Water

It’s always there

By the time it runs out

Everyone’s Time

Will have

Wasted Away
