She looks tired, I think; weather-worn, but, a lovely face - timeless!
Neat poem; though, the older one gets, the faster time seems to go. Seems like a moment!
Congratulations on All Time Best!

Hi Don&Vicki
These twenty syllables remind us how short life can be. Although some think it will last forever.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

An interesting thought in your twenty syllables for the contest. You have all three tenses in there, and with the pendulum swinging, it does seem like there's just but moment to do anything. Congratulations! Blessings. Carol

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is so true. The pendulum swings to the future the present becomes the past we only have a moment. I love the philosophy of this poem. The statue you use for this presentation is cleverly disguised as the Statue of Liberty.
Thanks for telling it like it is and forgoing the platitudes of the political mumbo jumbo.

Comment from ESOSTINE
This is very true as time seems to fly faster than light. Procrastination is a deadly disease that shifts todays mild pain to tomorrow's mournful regrets. Well done, dear Donald. I enjoyed it.

Your review is very kind.
Comment from judiverse
This is a sad write, as times goes so quickly, and our time runs out. Young people think they have all the time in the world, but the pendulum is swinging toward the future, as you write, and it's upon us before we realize it. To me, a week goes by so quickly now, and it used to drag out. Beautiful wording and smooth flow. Best of luck in the future. judi

Comment from Nicki.B
I really love that! 'We have but a moment' that's so beautiful. It's such a wonderful poem 20 syllables that you had you used perfectly. An important message within, a reminder that every moment is precious, don't hold onto the past and look forward to the future. Well done
Best Wishes

Author,
Correct syllable count...
This poem says so much. Yes, time is fleeting; if one is in a good place in life, time goes much too fast.
If times are bad, it seems as though time is painfully slow.
I love the photo which complements your excellent poem well.
Best wishes,
Cindy
