Well, I see and hear your internal rhyme, Melissa. Still, I'm pondering your couplet, trying to understand your meaning. I assume you mean that Time is there always and moves through rich and poor. Later in life, when gray heads are all about we wish we could get some more Time. Thank you for sharing.

What your poem shows is that no matter our status, we are all on the same journey and that time rules over all of us. A well written piece, I thought your writing flowed well and I enjoyed reading it.

Absolutely true! This is a perfect description of how time flows - appearing to be endless and yet we humans are mortal and often "time is not our friend." Best wishes in the contest!

Excellent work with this. Great job with the internal rhyme. I like your comparison to waves flowing to the shore. Time is ever moving, and we can't change it. We all have regrets that we haven't made the most of our time on earth. You express an excellent thought in this, and success to you in the contest. judi

I like this a lot. You're right that Time does not differentiate between social classes...or ANYTHING, actually. And I have definitely arrived at that point where I'm wishing Time were still my friend.

Wonderful couplet. I hope it does well for you at the polls. xo

    Thanks so much Rachelle. I am finding some time today to do the thing I love ~ write verses. I really should be preparing for Christmas, but it seems the words will flow ~ today, anyway :). Hugs, my friend.

As a mortal being I would have thought would be our enemy, stalking us as it were, always not knowing how much we have as our share, but in eternity we would see the reason why it exists, beautifully written Melissa, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy. Time can be an enemy or friend. Our Lord knows what is best and takes us through our years hand in hand. Hugs.
