Essence of Time - Visitor's Poem

by Bernadette Pallen
(California, USA)

A second, limitation.
A minute, expectation.
An hour, illustration.

A day, obstacles.
A week, battles.
A month, miracles.
A year, heroes.

The essence of time sows:
circumstances and consequences
reaction and reflection
empathy and compassion
and alas,
collaboration and direction.
