The Jealous Hand of Time

by Karen Patterson

Staying in tune with the fine line of time
With each season we must rhyme. 
Throughout our many wanderings,
And all throughout each day.
In time we must keep
Rhyme in every way, 
Because we’re ever moving forward
On through each new day.
For passing days are constant
The reality is sometimes sad and true
So you must always pay attention
Or time will creep up on you!
Like a child playing hide and seek
Taking time to cuddle, talk and squeak.
‘Tis sights and sounds of the likes alone,
These are the songs of a true and mighty home. 
Because love is the only way to keep 
The jealous hand of time at bay!
