You Are Poem by Clyde King

A second is always a second.
Sixty of them make a minute.
A minute is always a minute.
Sixty of them make an hour.
And twenty four hours make a day
And three-hundred sixty-five days make a year.

These never change.
They may seem to speed up
Or slow down, but that's
Only our perceptions
Playing games.

Time never changes,
But we are changed by it.
It marches on, as they say.
Time is the great equalizer
And destroyer.
No one can escape it.

In the end, we end,
But not time.
Time is timeless.

And you, you are always you.
