An Ode to Time

After wanting all summer to write about the crazy happenings in my family's world, and the lessons being learned, and all the places God was present, but never quite getting around to it, I finally decide  just to write about the passing of time instead. But this too didn't seem to happen. Finally as summer officially ended, I did it...sort of.  

This was supposed to be shared on Monday, the official end of summer.  But as usual, time got away from me!   Better late than never, right?  :)

An Ode to Time:
Oh time, you are a magician!
Perhaps the greatest magician,
With your greatest trick, your vanishing act!
 
Where do you go, when you slip away from us?
How I wish sometimes I knew your secret,
So I could hold onto you a bit longer,
Keep you from disappearing,
keep you always steady in front of me.

But despite the illusion that I can stop you,
Before I know it, you are gone again, 
And your audience is left wondering where you went. 

You are a magician not to be reckoned with!
And once again, despite my efforts to hold on,
You have performed your illusive act.
Months worth of fun, countless moments, gone again.
 
And so, as I cannot seem to keep you still,
I will instead hold onto that which you leave in your puff of fleeting majestic smoke,
The memories you create in your magical wake,
All of them magical too!
 
I miss you time,
But I welcome the magical show you leave behind in your place...
LIFE!
