Time’s Destiny

Time’s precious moments

Ceaseless in its flow

Like any river

Searching green meadows

 

Time’s grace spreading out

Meaningful intent

With gentle purpose

Marking life’s ascent

 

Time’s daily framework

Structured by mankind

Silent trace of peace

Running to unwind

 

Time’s welcome spirit

Tomorrow designed

Minutes fill each plan

Guiding daily grind

 

Time’s destiny breathes

Lifetime filled with joy

Patient, calming voice

Sculpting man from boy

Infusing nature’s spirit—

Outlook’s warm design
