TIME AND DISTANCE

Time and distance met one lonely day
To see what could be done about the sun
For shadows seemed to cross life's path
Too hurriedly for distant love to last.

A court convened to find a way
To solve life's mystery's interlude
That robbed life's distance from its time
By leaving broken dreams so far behind.

Opinions and objections grew
From love and hate to name a few
The former felt the pain within the heart
The later wanted time to be apart.

What can be done was heard its cry?
Can distance form a link with time
So memories past can form a nest
Within the shelter of its breast?

The sun responded in bright hope
"Though time and distance cannot change
Within the boundaries of the human heart
Two souls that beat as one can never be apart."
