PIECES OF TIME

Our time as humans, animals, anything living loses time,

All created things age with time; there are many quotes about time.

Time does get older, but never does it go away, never backwards,

A clock, a watch, the ancient sundial that watched our day pass,

An hourglass of sand, those which remind us always of our time.

Pieces of time, a memory thought of with long lost friends, older now,

Pictures on a mantle, photographs and picture albums, dust -covered.

Antiques, old relics lost with time, discovered within aging places,

Pieces of time, an old remembered house, friends that rest inside.
