 Penniluck's legacy

Time


The past, the present and future
All link together as one
The present is already passing  
The future has already gone.

We think we can live for the present
But this never be done
For the present is past as we say it
And the future`s already begun.

How can we live for the present
When the future is present then past
When all of these times come together
And we know that a moment can`t last.

Men who have made their own measure
Say the past it is dead and is gone,
The present is here with us now
And the future is somewhere beyond.

Yet even `though men may divide it
With clocks that tick on and on
Time can never be measured
For past present and future are one.

Therefore always remember
Whatever it is you may do
If it is part of your present
It`s your past and your future life too.

Time is the greatest of mysteries
An ageless and endless span
And it may not even exist at all
For the word Time was invented by man.
