Dear Time,

Dear Time,

You move so swiftly, always on the go,

Never slowing down, with your constant flow,

Bringing changes that we cannot foresee,

Leaving memories that will forever be.

You've brought me joy and you've brought me pain,

But through it all, I've grown and learned again,

For every loss, there's a new beginning,

And for every ending, a chance for winning.

Sometimes I wish I could slow you down,

To savor moments that will soon astound,

To hold onto memories just a bit more,

Before they slip away and fade to the core.

But then I realize, it's your nature to move,

To bring in new experiences, a constant groove,

And I must embrace the rhythm of your beat,

For in your cadence, life's magic is complete.

So dear Time, though you may seem unkind,

You are the teacher of life, the one who reminds,

That every second counts, and every moment is dear,

And that in your passing, there's always something to cheer.

Sincerely,

A grateful soul
