Time

We never really know what the future holds

Time is strong putting us all on hold

Here’s the thing

I’m not a puppet on a string

Sitting out here wondering

I’m not filled with cotton

Left dangling

Life’s lessons are gifts for all to see

I was your blessing, thrown to the sea

I was challenging & also frustrating

I’m complicated but amazing

Compliments from you, I will not hear

For that I shed not even one tear

Wasted time was mine to bare

& now you are in despair

I’m free of all the lies you told

I should cheer, clap & be bold

I’m settling in comfort now

You so easily thought I was your clown

In time I’ll take a final bow

So this is my stage

So sit down because

You are no longer a part of it

I have no regrets

In choices I made

This is my life

I choose to live it

Thanking God

While you are not in it
