Here is my entry to @hopehuggs poetry competition with the theme 'Time':

The Times of My Life

When I was small,
Able to crawl,
Time meant nothing to me.

I booed and cooed,
Ate my food,
While endless time ran free.

Bigger I grew,
From the nest flew.
Time began to haunt me.

By adult years,
I showed my peers,
That time did not come free.

I am quite sure,
Now I’m mature,
That father time leads me!
