The Constant Walker

 

TIME WINS

A man once asked of Time,

"Why is it that I always lose?"

And Time replied, through frost and rime:

"Whether sunshine glows or shadows fall,

 Through the deepest night or the rain’s cold call,

No matter how bitter the wind may blow,

 I never falter; I simply go.

I keep my pace, I keep my stride,

With nowhere to linger and nowhere to hide.

That is the secret to how I win:

 I never stop, I never give in.

If you wish to triumph, then walk with me—

And a loser you shall never be."
