Roots in time beyond ancient past, <br />Building a future, mine atlast; <br />See the flesh that I wear on me? <br />Time long past had built that to be; <br />Building throughout time, brought forth me, <br />So I'm as old as time that I here be; <br />The foundation of time roots the past, <br />And into this world I've been cast; <br />Generation after generation, time has passed, <br />And there in the future is where I fade into the past; <br />Farther in time will offspring grow, <br />Reach touching future, ages flow; <br />Life is now yours and you're the holder, <br />You'll reach further into time as you grow much older; <br />So grow with time till your turn's gone, <br />It be the children who will soon live on... <br /> <br /> <br />(2007)<br /><br />Tony Avila Sampson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-as-time-itself/
