The stolen time of days now passed <br />Repaying the debt we owe <br />The birds have finally stopped singing <br />And the flowers no more grow <br /> <br />There is a time for everything <br />That will ever be <br />A time to live, a time to die <br />Even time for you and me <br /> <br />If the end comes far too quick <br />And time collapses: beware! <br />We would have to refund our arrears <br />By spending time in the pits of despair <br /> <br />Father Time has taken his share <br />As the sun sets on the final day <br />Let us just hope that you and me <br />Have no more debt to pay<br /><br />Declan Cole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/passages-of-time/
