Father Time says <br />we are old. <br />But we have many stories to tell - <br />of pain, of sorrow, <br />of joy, of happiness, <br />of life - <br />if we can remember them. <br /> <br />we are like the ocean <br />on a good day. <br />We are like Whitman. <br />we contain multitudes <br /> <br />Unvoiced <br />in the eternal now, <br />in this instant of life <br />that goes on forever <br />in our awareness.. <br /> <br />We live and so <br />we are aware <br />of this eternal instant, <br />O lovely instant <br />which will go on forever <br />until we are not aware.<br /><br />Fred Babbin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-live-in-the-eternal-now/
