The voice of time walks at my side
Keeping pace, stride for stride.
Softest whisper in my ear.
Listen now, I'll make it clear
You'll only be this age one year!
You're one step up, climbing fast
Soon your flag will fly the mast.
No stepping back to, beat retreat.
Grains of time run from your feet.
Time has much to offer still
View your future, atop that hill.
