Time Is A Thief

Time is the thief that has taken from me

My innocence, and all that life used to be

Tomorrow I may lose what I am today

The hours and minutes erode me away

Each new day, replaces a part of me

With someone different, an adult with responsibility

Can't stop me from changing,

I'm being damaged and repaired

Over and over again.

Next year, same face, same name

New person.



The only thing that doesn't change

Is my desire to keep things the same...

Time is a thief.

Hi Terry, this is a great poem and who would not feel like being robbed of time?!
My personal opinion is that I feel pity for the interruption in the middle of the poem which started with a wonderful flow and rhyme.
Anyway, a good write!
Kind regards
Ursula
