wondered the baby at play.

Just the beginning,

Your very first day.

Still quite early;

You're only a child.

asked the busy young man.

Not too soon,

But enjoy what you can.

begged the aging adult.

Not over yet,

But it comes to a close.

i know what time it is

smiled the elderly one.

my time is up,

i'm almost done.

Relax, said the Father.

You're coming with me.

You aren't through yet.

You're merely free.
