Time’s Paces
When I was a babe and wept and slept,Time crept;When I was a boy and laughed and talked,Time walked.Then when the years saw me a man,Time ran.But as I older grew,Time flew.Soon, as I journey on,I'll find time gone.May Christ have saved my soul, by then,Amen.
Guy Pentreath (1902 - 1985)
