Time is not a river <br />Nor a ticking clock <br />Nor an hourglass <br /> <br />We cannot save time <br />We cannot spend time <br />We cannot borrow time <br />We cannot buy time <br />We cannot cheat time <br /> <br />Time is not a gift <br />Time is not our friend <br />Nor our enemy <br />Time is not on our side <br />Time is not ours in any sense <br />Save for the single second <br />That holds our full attention <br />Then slips forever beyond grasp<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-is-not-a-river/
