sundials

And the time sundials tellMay be minutes and hours. But it may just as wellBe seconds and sparkles, or seasons and flowers.No, I don't think of time as just minutes and hours.Time can be heartbeats, or bird songs, or miles,Or waves on a beach, or ants in their files(They do move like seconds__ust watch their feet go:Tick-tick-tick, like a clock). You'll learn as you growThat whatever there is in a garden, the sunCounts up on its dial. By the time it is doneOur sundial__r someone's_ will certainly addAll the good things there are. Yes, and all of the bad.And if anyone's here for the finish, the sunWill have told him__y sundial__ow well we have done.How well we have done, or how badly. Alas,That is a long thought. Let me hope we all pass.
