Saturn, you take a very long time to orbit the Sun <br />29.46 years <br />You were the slowest moving object known in ancient times <br />They who observed you didn't have telescopes <br /> <br />Saturn, they thought you were the slowest planet <br />They didn't know about Uranus and Neptune <br />They saw you as taking longer than your brothers and sisters <br />To revolve around your parent star <br /> <br />Saturn, you were named after the Roman god of agriculture, and time <br />Because of your slowness <br />Thought of as Old Father Time <br />You were thought to bring old age and death <br /> <br />Saturn, you are <br />The Bringer <br />Of <br />Old Age<br /><br />Rayna Loh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saturn-the-bringer-of-old-age/
