Time, the merciless friend
Each time I'm back I see a different face. Her body is fading out with time, And it's a hard thing to embrace. She's seen me since the age of zero, Always there to hold my tiny hands. Just like any child would, I call her my 'hero.' There's not much time left ticking, Time is a merciless friend. She sleeps, and time keeps slipping- Away from her, and I know she knows, She accepts this cruel reality, She wouldn't mind to go. Old age- a heavy, monotonous burden Mother nature is beautiful yet cruel, She awaits the final curtain in silence, With nothing left uncertain.
