Longer Nights Ahead
Longer nights and shorter days up ahead
as the Old Father Time has done and said,
according to the lore of nature and time,
his days are full of work, a perpetual grind.
He runs into autumn without losing a step
from sunrise through the day until early sunset.
He wastes no time as he hurries through the years,
running at full speed among the cheers.
Slow down Father Time to catch a breath.
